FRANCE 24's François Picard welcomes David Gibson, journalist and director of Fordham University's Center on Religion and Culture. On Monday, Pope Leo XIV set out his sweeping vision for AI and humanity. His first encyclical – a special papal letter that's sent to bishops in the Roman Catholic Church – was presented alongside Anthropic's Chris Olah, an attempt to demonstrate the possible dialogue between AI scientists and the rest of the world. Analysts are already comparing Leo's document to Pope Francis's 2015 climate encyclical that sparked global political debate.
