Pope Leo XIV Warns AI Is Reshaping Human Dignity and Society

Pope Leo XIV's message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications warns that artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems are fundamentally reshaping human identity, autonomy, and moral frameworks — not through democratic choice, but through commercial and technological creep. This 'algorithmization' of life mirrors end-times warnings of a system that controls human thought, behaviour, and participation in society, centralised in the hands of a few powerful entities. Revelation 13 describes a coming global system requiring submission for full participation in economic and social life, and the infrastructure being normalised today bears striking resemblance to that prophesied framework.
