Pope Leo Warns AI Could Become Tool of 'Domination, Exclusion and Death'

Pope Leo has released a sweeping Vatican encyclical called 'Magnifica Humanitas,' warning that artificial intelligence poses an existential threat to human dignity and must be governed by moral limits, comparing the moment to nuclear arms control and the Industrial Revolution. The emergence of a global religious authority calling for centralized control over transformative technology signals the kind of world governance infrastructure that biblical prophecy describes as preceding the rise of a one-world system. Revelation 13 describes a future global power exercising dominion over commerce, identity, and life itself — and the convergence of AI, institutional religion, and calls for international regulation accelerates the architecture that could make such control possible.
