The AI boom’s highest-profile executives didn’t immediately weigh in on the pope’s lengthy encyclical, though some tech industry leaders signaled support for his overarching message.
He’s the leader of a worldwide organization thar millions of people look up to for moral guidance. Calling this stuff out is absolutely within his purview, and he’s using his influence and reach for the right reasons.

Okay, he’s a leader of a large religion.
That still doesn’t give him any special knowledge or authority regarding AI.
But he’s charged with the moral guidance of his flock, and he’s using that to push a positive message.
You don’t have to look up to him, but he’s not talking to you…
