Pope Warns a “Paradise of Machines” Could Undermine Humanity as He Opens France Trip

Pope has warned that a “paradise of machines” could undermine humanity, using the opening of his France trip to urge careful reflection on artificial intelligence and technology. His remarks emphasized the importance of preserving human dignity, solidarity, and moral responsibility as automated systems become more influential. The pope’s message is likely to resonate with debates over AI, employment, inequality, and social isolation. Religious and political leaders are expected to consider how innovation can serve people without weakening judgment or community.
