Pope Leo urges "judicious use" of AI in university address

On Saturday, Pope Leo spoke to members of the educational community at the Catholic University of Uruguay. In his remarks, he urged schools and universities on the “judicious use of technologies and AI, placing the person before the algorithm.”

He also spoke of the normalization of attacking others, saying that “discarding, rejecting and belittling others have become a foul odor to which the sense of smell has grown accustomed.” Pope Leo urged those listening to “fine-tune” their hearing, seek the truth and listen to one’s inner voice. His trip comes as he recovers from lung cancer surgery that he had on 13 October.
