AI Safety Contest (33) I just learned that the new Catholic Pope is so concerned about the rise of AI that he even chose his name for that reason! This Saturday, he explained to cardinals why he wanted the name Leo XIV: <Mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church responds to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence>. WOW! Does that mean the AI safety movement just gained a powerful ally with 1.5 billion people behind it? Will Catholics help create safer AI and build it in a way that benefits everyone?

So impressed by Leo. Math major that also studied Heidegger and Hegel and phenomenology. This pope goes deep. One of the most learned and well-rounded ever? Great to see him tackling the major issues of our time, speaking from experience seeing very real struggles in the developing world that often bears the brunt of technological progress.

That's a fascinating and powerful moment Allies in AI Safety While the Church won’t be writing code, it could become a major ally to researchers and policymakers calling for regulation, transparency, and caution especially around AI in war, surveillance, and misinformation. So yes, this could be a big shift. The AI safety movement might now have a moral force with centuries of global influence behind it. It remains to be seen how this plays out in policy or practicebut the symbolism alone is already meaningful.@assayer

Yes, Pope Leo XIV’s choice of name shows he sees AI as a major moral issue just like Pope Leo XIII did with industrialization. With over a billion Catholics worldwide, this could spark a global push for safer, more ethical AI that serves everyone, not just the powerful.
