Is AI the New Religion? The Catholic Church’s Ethical Principles for AI & What You Need to Know!


Fr. Leo explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and religion. Leowski, a tech pioneer, views AI as a potential force for good, but acknowledges the challenges and ethical dilemmas it presents. Some people are turning to AI as a new form of religion due to its omniscience, but Fr. Leo warns of the dangers of pride and potential misuse of technology. The Catholic Church is developing ethical principles for AI development, and Fr. Leo shares concerns about the potential for AI to create false accusations or even develop self-awareness. Fr. Leo also discusses the decline in religious affiliation due to technology and the emergence of AI-dedicated churches.
