Pope Leo XIV cautioned against the dangers of artificial intelligence during a speech at UNESCO’s Paris headquarters, emphasising that technology must serve humanity. He warned of potential dehumanisation and called for safeguards, particularly for vulnerable children, amidst broader discussions on technology’s impact on society.
Pope Leo XIV will visit France from 25 to 28 September, marking the first papal visit to Paris since 2008. Anticipation is high, with up to 250,000 expected to line the streets and 80,000 attending a youth mass at Stade de France, reflecting the pontiff’s broad appeal.

“Rather, the entire political elite must ask itself whether it has grasped the seriousness of the situation. France is sitting on Europe’s highest mountain of debt and needs to make cutbacks in order to preserve some budgetary leeway and not gamble away the dented confidence of rating agencies and bond markets.
