Vatican Conference Calls for Global AI Governance Under Papal Leadership

The Vatican hosted an international AI conference urging global cooperation, education, and ethical responsibility to prevent a dystopian future shaped by surveillance, deepfakes, and algorithmic control — with Pope Leo preparing a landmark encyclical on AI and human dignity. This push for a unified global authority to govern transformative technology mirrors the prophetic trajectory toward a centralised world system with religious institutions playing a defining role. Scripture warns of a coming global order where speech, identity, and commerce are controlled — a system that AI infrastructure could uniquely enable (Revelation 13:16-17; Daniel 7:23).
