00:00:00
Pope Leo released his first encyclical,
00:00:02
a 4,200 word letter about AI titled
00:00:04
Magnificent Humanity. The Pope
00:00:06
acknowledged that artificial
00:00:07
intelligence can be a valuable tool. He
00:00:09
did not trash it, but also warned that
00:00:10
AI race could become a new Tower of
00:00:12
Babel. He shared some strong words about
00:00:15
what needs to happen next. Let's listen
00:00:16
to him himself talk about it.
00:00:18
>> Artificial intelligence needs to be
00:00:21
disarmed.
00:00:24
The word is strong, I know,
00:00:26
but deliberately chosen because this
00:00:28
moment needs words capable of attracting
00:00:31
attention, awakening consciences,
00:00:34
and indicating paths forward for
00:00:37
humanity.
00:00:38
>> He also didn't shy away from talking
00:00:40
about people at the helm of AI. He very
00:00:42
carefully didn't insult technology, but
00:00:45
he really [music] clearly insulted its
00:00:47
creators or said we need to do better. I
00:00:49
think he's been listening to Pivot. A
00:00:52
lot of stuff we talked about for years.
00:00:53
>> think the best thing or one of the best
00:00:55
things that's happened for the US brand
00:00:56
is Pope Leo. He's just incredibly
00:00:58
articulate. He comes across as measured,
00:01:00
brave, connects real-world issues with
00:01:03
spiritual issues, and issues of dignity,
00:01:05
and he's American. He's just very good.
00:01:07
>> I'm excited to see what else he takes
00:01:09
on. And, you know, of course, the stupid
00:01:10
Trump people call him the woke Pope.
00:01:12
It's conscience. It's not woke.
