Pope Francis said today he is praying over the “profound transformations” in society caused by digital technologies, and expressed hopes that the “inherent dignity” of humanity is considered before they are used—singling out artificial intelligence once again.

The Vatican published the Pope’s sermon for the 2024 World Day of Peace on January 1, which, in part, called for the ethical development of AI to serve humanity, reduce harm, and promote peace and justice. In the fall, Pope Francis discussed AI during a homily for UN International Day of Peace in September.

The entreaties by the Pontiff come at a time when AI penetrates almost every facet of modern life across different industries, and other world leaders and policymakers grapple with how to manage the technology.

“Progress in information technology and the development of digital technologies in recent decades have already begun to effect profound transformations in global society and its various dynamics,” Pope Francis said. “New digital tools are even now changing the face of communications, public administration, education, consumption, personal interactions and countless other aspects of our daily lives.”
