Pope Leo XIV explains his choice of name comparing the industrial revolution that his predecessor dealt with to the AI revolution today 

We’re lucky to have a mathematician pope in a time when AI has started to feel like a god-like force

Kind of wild that the Pope used to be a major geopolitical player for like 1,000 years

Despite the Pope not holding as much geopolitical power as he has historically, I think it’s a great sign that we have an educated and thoughtful pope that is very aware of the impact of AI 

Best case scenario imo

Translation if you don’t want to watch:

"... I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but 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 offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour."

Rerum Novarum is a banger, strong recommend
