Pope Leo, who is forthright about his views on the new technology, also said that he had been asked for his authorisation to create an AI Pope.
"Someone recently asked authorization to create an artificial me so that anybody could sign onto this website and have a personal audience with 'the Pope'," said the pontiff.
"This artificial intelligence Pope would give them answers to their questions, and I said, 'I'm not going to authorize that'.".
Pope Leo has previously said that he chose the name Leo partially as a tribute to Pope Leo III, the 19th century Pope best-known for Rerum novarum, a treatise on the exploitation of the working class during the Industrial Revolution.
In one of his first addresses to cardinals, Pope Leo said AI is "another Industrial Revolution.".
In this latest interview, the Pope returns to the theme of human rights and dignity.
And the human heart will be lost in the midst of the technological development, as things are going right now.". »
