Harvard's Arthur Brooks: Pope Leo Warns AI Could Harm Human Dignity

In a recent interview, Arthur Brooks, a Harvard professor and Catholic, discussed Pope Leo's warning about artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential threats to jobs, human dignity, and accountability. Brooks drew parallels between Pope Leo's stance and that of Pope Leo XIII during the industrial revolution, emphasizing the importance of understanding AI's impact on human dignity and work. He highlighted the need for individuals to use AI in a way that enhances human qualities rather than diminishing them, and suggested that both individuals and policy makers should strive for the common good.
