According to Politico Europe, Pope Leo XIV has been actively engaging Silicon Valley leaders and AI experts in a series of behind-the-scenes meetings at the Vatican as he sharpens the Church’s response to artificial intelligence. The discussions reportedly include top figures from major tech companies and focus on how AI is reshaping ethics, labour, and human dignity, ahead of his landmark encyclical Magnifica Humanitas.
The Pope is said to be positioning the Vatican as a global moral voice on AI, pushing for guardrails that protect workers and prevent unchecked concentration of power in the tech industry. The move reflects his broader mission to challenge Big Tech while still keeping dialogue open with innovators shaping the future.
