Vatican’s AI Message Masks Naturalism, Omits Christ’s Kingship
Vatican News portal (January 24, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV’s message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications emphasizes “protecting human dignity” in digital communication while framing artificial intelligence as an “anthropological challenge” requiring “responsibility, cooperation and education.” The text warns that AI risks “altering essential dimensions of human communication” and calls for technological development to “serve the human person rather than replacing or diminishing human dignity.” The message concludes with vague appeals for “renewed care for face and voice” to preserve “the human dimension of communication.”
