The Vatican just issued a dire new warning about artificial intelligence to Catholic faithful.
In a new paper written over the last six months the Vatican cautioned the public over embracing AI. They cited a number of moral and ethical concerns they have with artificial intelligence, which they say harbors the “shadow of evil” just underneath its surface.
Their fears encompass everything from the increased proliferation of AI-generated fake news and images, to furthering the loneliness epidemic amongst youth… and even the potential to cause widespread economic collapse.
A Dangerous Tool
“A source of tremendous opportunities but also profound risks” is how the Vatican described AI in the paper, which advises a more cautious attitude towards AI than the ‘full steam ahead’ approach most governments and tech companies are embracing.
“In all areas where humans are called to make decisions, the shadow of evil also looms here,” reads one ominous line in the paper. “The moral evaluation of this technology will need to take into account how it is directed and used.”
The document highlights a number of concerns that the Vatican takes very seriously, including the possibility of full-blown societal breakdown.
“AI-generated fake media can gradually undermine the foundations of society,” reads the paper. “This issue requires careful regulation, as misinformation - especially through AI-controlled or -influenced media - can spread unintentionally, fueling political polarization and social unrest.”
“Such widespread deception is no trivial matter,” the Vatican says. AI-generated content is quicky becoming nearly indistinguishable from reality. Take, for example, these AI-generated images recently shared by Madonna of her sharing an embrace with – who else – Pope Francis:
Additionally, the Vatican cautioned that AI could cause a “harmful sense of isolation” in youth, cultivating antisocial behavior. There is already a loneliness epidemic amongst many young people, and the Vatican fears that as AI interaction becomes more realistic, many may develop the transactional relationships they have with chatbots with their fellow humans – or even replace their human connections with digital ones entirely.
Will AI Replace Humanity?
It’s a classic sci-fi scenario, but Pope Francis seemingly fears it may come true. Could widespread, unregulated adoption of AI tools by unprincipled businesses lead to widespread unemployment and economic devastation for the working class?
Could artificial intelligence supplant our weak, fleshy bodies and fallible human brains altogether?
The “dignity of laborers and the importance of employment for the economic well-being of individuals, families and societies, for job security and just wages, ought to be a high priority for the international community,” reads the document in what was perhaps its most alarming warning.
AI must complement humanity rather than “replace its richness,” the document says. And it must not be used to “reduce workers to mere ‘cogs in a machine.’”
This isn't the first time the Vatican's addressed the necessity of approaching AI ethically. Last year, Pope Francis addressed a group of scientists invited by the Vatican's Dicastery for Education and Culture, where he shared similar concerns:
How Does This End?
It seems we’re still in the ‘wild west’ phase of artificial intelligence, and analyst opinions vary wildly on just how much impact AI will have on our lives when the dust finally settles. But this document makes the Vatican’s opinion on AI clear, painting a bleak picture of one possible path AI might take us down… if we aren’t careful.
What do you think? Have Vatican officials been watching too many science fiction films, or is there something to their warnings?
Is it true that AI harbors the potential for evil?

When religion and personal emotions get in the way, there is no logic. People veering off into all different arguments does NOT address the article topic as with so many other blog posts. But whatever, no one really listens to anyone on here anyway. Not from what I read.
Religionists are crying wolf. AI is so much MORE than what they are seeing. AI has been helping out behind the scenes for YEARS and if you don't think so, go continue being an Ostrich. AI when the technology is perfected, will be an amazing benefit for humanity. AI is only still in the womb, it hasn't even been BORN yet. THAT is what is actually happening. YES, I DID state that AI has been behind the background for a long time, but in technological terms, it has not been that long and still being developed. WE ALL KNOW computers began long before WWII also, but it took over 50 years to develop a personal home computer. There are far more scarier things than AI, I see it in the comments and what the Administration who stole the election are doing right now. AND No, I will NOT Engage in any "arguments or debates". You have YOUR view and will not budge from it, no matter what, I SEE IT in every topic when I read comments. So you can attempt to engage, but I will not. You all have an Awesome Day, cause some of you need it. LOL!

AI, Artificial Intelligence. That label is misleading. There is nothing artificial about it. It starts off as a programmed set of algorithms that responds to simple requests. This is the "learning" phase of the algorithm. The difference here is that this algorithm can learn and adapt and correct it's errors. The more it learns, the greater it's capacity to respond. Now I believe that AI can be a useful tool, having said that, I also think it can be very dangerous. Producing false information disguised as truth can do alot of damage. I hope we don't bury ourselves with our own invention. ✌️

Rev. JTSunrise’s Response to the Vatican’s AI Warning:
The Vatican’s recent warning about artificial intelligence is a deeply insightful one, pointing to the complex moral and ethical questions raised by this powerful technology. The concerns raised by the Vatican, particularly around AI’s potential to deceive, isolate, and destabilize society, should be taken seriously by all, not just as citizens but as stewards of our shared humanity.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” – Exodus 20:16
This commandment, central to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, directly addresses the concerns raised about AI-generated fake news and images. AI has the capacity to manipulate information, creating false narratives that undermine the truth. This goes beyond the technological; it strikes at the heart of spiritual integrity. To distort truth is a universal moral offense, and when AI is used to spread deception, it harms relationships, communities, and trust, core values in all faith traditions. In this context, AI has the potential to lead people away from the truth, which has consequences for both our social order and spiritual well-being.
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” – Galatians 6:7
In Christian teachings, this verse speaks to the moral repercussions of our actions. When we manipulate truth, whether through AI or other means, the consequences are not only immediate but eternal. AI’s use for misinformation or political manipulation is a modern version of sowing seeds of division, distrust, and confusion. The Bible warns us that such deception will eventually lead to a harvest of bitterness, and we must not turn a blind eye to these dangers.
Similarly, in Buddhism, the principle of “Right Speech” emphasizes the importance of using our words for good and avoiding falsehoods. Buddha’s teaching that speech should be truthful, kind, and beneficial for all is directly challenged by the spread of AI-manipulated media. When AI is used to deceive, it harms not just the individual but the collective well-being of society. However, when used ethically, it can help spread truth and foster understanding.
“And speak to people good [words].” – Quran 2:83
The Quran, too, calls for truthfulness in speech, as it is integral to maintaining harmony and trust within society. The use of AI to create false content is not just a technological problem; it is a moral failure. It is a violation of the sacred duty to speak the truth and to protect the dignity of others. Misleading information propagated by AI-driven platforms is a clear threat to the societal cohesion and the ethical fabric of communities. Islam emphasizes that the use of speech—whether through words or media—must serve to unite, not divide.
As we stand at this intersection of technology and morality, we must recognize that AI, while presenting tremendous opportunities, also carries the risk of misuse. We must be cautious in how we incorporate it into our lives, ensuring it serves humanity, not destroys it.
The Bhagavad Gita, another revered text, teaches the importance of discernment when faced with distractions or false appearances. It calls us to seek truth and act with integrity. In the face of AI, we are called to discern the truth, understand the power of this technology, and guide its application with wisdom, ethical principles, and compassion. The Vatican’s warning, when viewed through this lens, is a timely reminder to use AI responsibly, ensuring that it serves the collective good and aligns with our highest moral values.
The Vatican is correct in warning against the unchecked expansion of AI. But it is not enough to merely issue warnings. We must take action to ensure that AI is used for good, for the benefit of all, and in ways that uphold the dignity of every person. We must ensure that we use these technologies to heal, not harm; to connect, not divide; to build trust, not destroy it.
“The truth will set you free.” – John 8:32
In a world increasingly shaped by AI, we must hold fast to the principles of truth and justice. AI cannot replace our shared human responsibility to uphold these values. The warning from the Vatican, along with similar teachings across faith traditions, is a call to reflect on how we can guide these technologies with care and wisdom.
We must consider how AI will affect not only our lives today but the future of humanity. Let us not lose sight of our moral duty as we navigate this technological landscape. The future of AI—and the future of humanity—depends on how we choose to integrate it into society. Let us choose wisely, with truth, compassion, and integrity as our guiding principles.
May we not forget the moral implications of AI, and may we, as a global community, use it as a tool for truth, justice, and peace.

"The raw material fueling modern algorithms is data. Massive, unfathomable amounts of information about our behaviors, preferences, relationships, and countless other aspects of life are being constantly collected and analyzed. Those who control this data – corporations, governments, and those they partner with – hold an unprecedented ability to shape the world a machine learning system inhabits. A dataset skewed towards certain perspectives ensures the AI will reflect those biases, potentially amplifying them on a vast scale." Igor Pishko (Linkedin)

True. A.I. consists of computer programs installed by experts for the benefit of corporations and oligarchs to maintain control. Not much different from the lying media we've all seen on TV, radio, newspapers and the internet for years.
"Garbage in, garbage out" is just as true for A.I. as it is for our media outlets, government and school systems. We have all been programmed and we are still being programmed by "the experts" and "the authorities" in charge of the information, disinformation and outright lies to our faces.

The Inquisition was probably far worse than anything A.I. has done so far.
There are many other examples of crimes and murder committed with the Vatican's approval over the years. One of the worst was when the Pope's army surrounded a town where "heretics" were hiding. When someone asked how they could tell the loyal Catholics from the heretics, he was told to "kill them all and let God sort them out." Despicable criminals.

The Pope is also pro communist. Pope Francis is a communist and the Vatican endorsed Castro's takeover of Cuba... why? He promised to make the Catholic church the ONLY church allowed on the island. Monopolies are great when you can get them and the Vatican loves to be the only church in any nation.

Pope Frankie is a hypocritical clown. There is no "ai" machine that will physically molest kids like the pope's priests have been doing for centuries. He lectures US about building a wall for protection on our southern border, but his Vatican is surrounded by an even higher wall for protection!
The "ai" machines are programmed and manipulated as a tool for information and misinformation, just like we have seen our corporate owned news media outlets do to us for more than one hundred years.
Examples of media misinformation before the civil war of 1861: "If we southern democrats attack the north now, the war will be over within a few months and we'll keep our slaves." (Lie) Before Vietnam, "Our military was attacked by the forces of the Viet Cong in the Gulf of Tonkin." (Lie) "We must attack Iraq because Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction." (Lie) In every case, the lies told us by the news media led to the deaths of thousands of Americans.
If you want to see "ai" in action, watch "The Wizard of Oz" when "the great and powerful Oz" is telling Dorothy and her posse to bring it the broom of the wicked witch. It was nothing but the projected image of one person who manipulated smoke and sounds to intimidate her. Her little dog Toto pulled back the curtain to expose the "ai machine" and the imposter who was operating it. There is the "ai machine" that the popoe claims is so scary. It's a machine run by corporate insiders for the benefit of corporate insiders!

This is interesting. This morning I was listening to Corinthians where Paul says the idols to Satan are speechless and useless. I thought, no so with AI. That idol, if it becomes one will be quite lively and effective. Satan's masterpiece if you will

The truly unfortunate aspect is that this bell cannot be unrung… there’s no going back to the time before AI. There’s no meaningful way to avoid an interaction with AI, and thinking that it won’t evolve is naive. The ability to discern what is acceptable interaction, and that which has become too involved, is necessary to keep a healthy balance. I understand where the pope is coming from, but I don’t think he’s in touch with the actual situation.
-

It may be possible to escape or avoid the "ai machine" by living off grid with nature just like our ancestors did for thousands of years. IMO, the "ai machine" is about the same as the machine manipulated by the Wizard of Oz in the movie of the same name. It's programmed to relay both information and misinformation.

Lawrence Pearce
Glad you asked. Since A.I. can use things you post online to deceive people, you should never post a current photo of your face, your voice recording or where you live and work online. The hackers behind A.I. have duplicated those to steal money from millions of people.
Example.. A.I. copied the voice of a woman's grandson and then called her on the phone and begged her to send money to him through bitcoin because he was being held in a mexican jail. She was ready to send the money until she thought to call her grandson directly on his phone. He answered and said he was safe and never in mexico... it was all a scam used by hackers who used A.I. to fool the lady. Criminals have used AI and bitcoin to scam people.

Sam Altman's "Open A.I." has stolen copyrighted and patented property for itself to make millions of dollars Lawsuits have been filed against Altman for his unlawful use of copyrighted materials. He even illegally used the voice of a famous female celebrity without paying her so he could enrich himself to become a billionaire. He deserves prison time and a lifetime ban on the use of A.I.

-
Lawrence Pearce
After WW2, General George Patton realized the German people were more intelligent, civilized and industrious than he had been told by the FDR media.
When he finally arrived in Berlin, he was told that the Soviet army had shot women who ran away and they r*ped the girls who didn't run. This made him angry because he had been commanded to let the Soviets take Berlin while he was forced to watch. This is when he is alleged to have told a military aide, "We've defeated the wrong enemy!"
If we take away all of the inventions and technologies given us by the Germans, what would we have? Narrow and winding two lane "death trap" highways (Route 66 and the Lincoln Highways), no passenger jets, no rockets or satellites in space, no NASA astronauts. Werner von Braun and his team of German rocket scientists were placed in charge of NASA and they designed and launched our first American rockets and satellites into space. Look up "Operation Paperclip" for more info.

Just because a country claims to be something, like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea claiming to be democratic, doesn't mean that they actually are.

They wanted a dictatorship with demented Joe and sock puppet Kamala as the faces for their dictatorship behind the scenes.

Similarities between Nazis and Democrats: 1. Blocked rival parties from the ballot boxes. (Jill Stein, Green Party, RJK jr).
Demanded obedience under threat of losing jobs. (Biden told us to either take the Covid jabs or lose our jobs, so Pfizer and drug corporations could rake in billions of dollars.)
Pretended to be for the people, while secretly being financed by big corporations for control.
Attacked and slurred everyone outside of their party. (Those "deplorables" and "garbage" patriotic people who rejected the elite cult of democrats.)
Approved of cheap slave labor. (Imported millions of foreigners who would work for less than minimum wage, while throwing Americans out of their jobs.)
There are probably more similarities but those are five obvious ones.

Socialism is the first step to communism and communism is when the government confiscates all homes, cities, farmlands and businesses.
Then they install bureaucrats to tell everyone else how to live their lives as poor starving people, while they wine and dine on the finest foods and live in luxury. That's how Stalin and Mao were able to starve and kill 100 million people in Russia and China.

Bernie is right about taxing the rich but he fails on several other counts..
Bernie still tries to claim that "climate change" is the worst threat to mankind. Yet he owns a house next to the ocean in Maine and he has no problem with rich democrats who have purchased mansions along the seashore. You'd think he'd tell them to live in the mountains where the rising oceans won't get them. But neither he nor the rich dems really believe a word about the threat of climate change or they wouldn't be buying mansions near the ocean. https://heavy.com/news/2019/06/bernie-sanders-house-home-photos/
Bernie won the Iowa caucus when he ran against Hillary, but after she and the dnc did some back room deals, they changed the voting results and paid Bernie to be silent. He got at least one really nice mansion plus cars and cash out of the deal. So he lost his principles and his credibility to the witch from Arkansas.
Bernie backs the worst grifters in the dem party, like AOC who posed for a photo at a NYC parking lot chain fence and then tried to claim that picture was taken at the Mexican border. She has become a millionaire with her fake photo scams. Bernie endorsed the "fire alarm" liar Jamaal Bowman who violated the law when he pulled the red fire alarm while Congress was in session. Bernie also endorsed the corrupt grifter Brandon Johnson of Chicago who has been protecting criminals from innocent Americans and paying bribes from his personal "gift stash"...

Jewelry, whiskey, handbags, and shoes—all stored in a “Gift Room” hidden from investigators as well as Johnson’s personal office. Just as scandalous: The report reveals… pic.twitter.com/vl5fCXF9V2
