Vatican Hosts AI Conference as Pope Leo XIV Prepares Encyclical on Human Dignity

The Vatican's Dicastery for Communications convened international scholars, tech experts, and journalists in Rome to examine AI's impact on truth, identity, and social equality, days before Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on preserving human dignity in the AI age. The rise of a global institution shaping moral frameworks around technology — declaring what is 'human' and who holds authority over knowledge — mirrors biblical warnings about a centralised religious-political power guiding the conscience of nations in the end times. This aligns with prophetic patterns in Revelation 13 and 17, where a world religious system exercises sweeping influence over culture, communication, and the ordering of society.
