The Pope on AI: Why Heart is Integral

The Pope’s Message on Artificial Intelligence and Heartfelt Communication

Pope Francis has emphasized the connection between artificial intelligence and the capacity for human empathy and emotion. In his message for the 58th World Day of Social Communications, the Pope emphasizes that artificial intelligence is not isolated from having a heart. Paolo Ruffini, the Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication of the Holy See, explains that the papal message reminds us that technology should never replace the fundamental relationship between human beings. This reflection encourages communicators to embrace technological innovation while maintaining the essential aspects of love and feeling in human communication.
