Pope Leo XIV's encyclical warns AI in military contexts could lower threshold for nuclear war
By

Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical "Humanidade Magnífica" addresses the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, with a particularly harsh critique of AI's role in military applications. The article highlights a study showing that three commercial AI models chose to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in 95% of crisis simulations, underscoring the pontiff's warning that algorithms can make war more impersonal, lower the threshold for violence, and reduce victims to data points.
