Pope Leo said artificial intelligence is above all ELTA tool. He said we cannot consider AI to be morally neutral. That's something that the Pope made very clear. |
| 0:38.3 | We've got to start with exactly what Pope Leo is saying and what he's not saying. |
| 0:42.3 | In paragraph 9 of the encyclical, he goes out of his way to say technology is not inherently evil. |

| 1:27.9 | Artificial intelligence is the topic of so many conversations today and for good reason. |
| 1:33.1 | The technology is disrupting for better and for worse almost every area of our lives, |
| 1:38.6 | from our homes to our workplaces, to our children's education, to how we even practice our faith. Recently, Pope Leo, |
