Pope Leo says AI lacks the "spark of humanity" — and wants artists and the church to fight back

Pope Leo XIV has urged the Catholic Church to team up with artists to safeguard human creativity in the age of AI-generated content. He emphasized that while acknowledging AI's benefits, it must not undermine human dignity. This call to action follows reports of Anthropic's attempts to integrate religious morals into their AI, highlighting the ongoing debate about the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. This initiative underscores the church's commitment to preserving the "spark of humanity" in all forms of creative expression.
