Pope Leo XIV on Monday warned about the “new forms of slavery” behind artificial intelligence — from content moderators to miners — and called for greater regulation.

“If technology promises emancipation, yet produces new forms of global subordination, it stands in contradiction to the fundamental principle of human dignity. The fight against new forms of slavery is a decisive test for the ethical discernment of AI,” the pope wrote in the encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” (Magnificent Humanity).
