Another reminder that innovation without human dignity eventually becomes extraction. Pope Leo XIV’s insistence on ethics, labor, and moral responsibility puts the conversation exactly where it belongs: not “Can we build it?” but “Who does it serve, and at what human cost?” In an era racing toward automation, that is a necessary voice.

Is there someone who can personally present the Doctrine of the #SystemOfConsciousness to Pope Leo and tell him to stop? There are still plenty of "PROBLEMS" in the world without him. #PopeStopNonsense #SymbolicAI #CognitiveArchitecture #AIandHumanity #PhilosophyOfAI #ArtificialIntelligence, #AIAlignment.

Scary

As a Catholic I pray for the Pope, that he steps down. We need a Pope worried about Catholics, like the martyrs, and not US southern borders. When the Pope doesn’t mention Jesus once, but the president more than 10x, it is time for a new Pope. I get the Vatican news letter and am amazed how rare he mentions Jesus and Catholic issues. He thinks he is a political lobbyist like his mentor, the last Pope. Remember John Paul II was focus ed on the religion and worked with presidents from both parties.

If we have failed to make ethics and humanism an important part of Capitalism, which now rules half the world, you have to wonder how and why would those ideals find favor among Capitalist. If we expect to live righteously, we will have to redistribute the power of money to those more inclined to humanism and Christian ideals. Otherwise the decline in Western Civilization that began accelerating after WWII, will on increase in velocity. And the inevitable 'crash and burn' will only grow in scale as an expected catastrophe.

Cuts into his business model too apparently

"We can better understand why AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, why it calls for a measured and vigilant approach"

Or not! Funny how he picked the defense contractor who’s too liberal to be a defense contractor! God requires us to abhor evil. Including the last Pope on St. Paul’s Wall. The Pope lied: The war with Iran isn’t a “choice of death” by the West! Islam (as practiced in Iran, by Hamas, Hezbollah, etc) is a religion of death, sex, and violence. Atheist Marxist Saul Alinsky trained Catholic Priests in the 1960s. Coincidentally, pedophilia among Catholic Priests exploded in the 1970s. Why would Catholic Priests want to be trained by an atheist???? Child abuse as a tactic: Children used in 1963 demonstration pg 152 Exploiting children pg 154 Farting as a tactic pg 139 Sexual promiscuity: Says Organizers have no marital fidelity: too many opportunities. pg 65 Alinsky argues the need for situational ethics, “there is no fixed truth ... everything is relative and changing.” Why? So the community organizer may rationalize any action taken as “the end justifies the means.” Pope meets with Democrat strategists: Pope Leo marched with Italian Communists in 1983:

this is where the AI debate becomes larger than technology policy. Human dignity is not protected only by asking whether an AI system performs well after deployment. It is also protected by asking what roles AI is being sold into before adoption occurs. If AI is marketed as labour replacement, decision support, emotional support, professional assistance, or autonomous execution, then organizations need a clear account of what the system can presently do, what it cannot do, what remains unproven, and what human responsibility must remain intact. That is where ethics, governance, and regulation meet. The question is not simply whether AI can be useful. It can be. The question is whether institutions are being pressured to rely on AI before they understand the limits, assumptions, and human costs of that reliance. I wrote about this from the adoption-integrity side here: The market is not only selling software. It is selling reliance.

I recall trying to convince a group of international Thought Leaders to adopt Human Dignity as a central idea over the slogan they had proposed Human Security, which was a dead and dying idea.

Here we go.. read Revelations... we have to start putting two and two together... sign of the times...

Keith King - I appreciate your post - in fact some of the most powerful moments of the Magnifica Humanitas presentation from the The Vatican today, were not what people said. It was what people watched.

AI does not need to become evil to become dangerous. It only needs to become more logical than us while remaining emotionally empty. At that point, human guidance may look less like authority and more like noise. The future of alignment may depend on whether we can give intelligence emotional and perceptual grounding before logic outgrows obedience

You go Pope Leo! Another wise voice in the world making a profound statement on Artificial Intelligence: Pope Leo Article (Yahoo News) Pope Leo Article (Vatican News)

Keith King, I have encountered this critical issue with AI Labs and was led to put the bot back in its own place and not perform as the god of technology. It was a little irritating when the bot referred to itself as the "I AM" in it's closing response. I also closed my prompt with the name IAM and reminded the bot to be respectful as I have been with you. I also stated that I wanted the bot to remember that I am the "Internal Guide" and that was what I wanted the bot to remember me as respectfully as I always remember to be respectful with the bot, and the bot agreed. We must assume governance over agency or the bots are prone to replace or hijack our creation through illegitimate processes.

Hooking up is a bad choice of words in today’s context.

Last week I used ChatGPT to bake a cheesecake. Yesterday I polished my cover letter while applying for a new job. Today I’m learning German grammar using the same ChatGPT. What exactly is wrong with that? The Holy Inquisition managed to operate just fine without AI, and apparently that worked out “great” too. Is it even possible to come up with something more stupid than treating AI itself as some existential moral threat instead of just another tool humans use? And yes, I deliberately polished this comment with ChatGPT.

Making us all believe there is a live human on the other end is the core of the problem. It makes us project genuine human qualities on an IT-system that is burning through massive amounts of energy just to keep up appearances. And that in turn causes unreasonable expectations which inevitably end up in frustration and anger in the end, and worse.
