Multiple graduation speakers spoke about the wonders of Artificial Intelligence. They got booed by the graduating seniors. I was surprised, but encouraged, by their reactions.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. It's where we take the news of the day. We bring it to the Bible

0:09.2

so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day. But Ecclesiastic says

0:13.7

there's nothing to the new under the sun. So thanks to being here to get the true story.

0:16.6

The story of the day today, the Pope warns against artificial intelligence. Here's what happened.

0:23.7

The Pope gave a message the other day about the risks of AI, a very long message, at least the

that back. The articles I read about this focused on the political aspects.

market, although that's extremely important.

1:23.8

I'm focused more on the heart and soul of human beings.

1:29.1

I do like this part of the Pope's message.

The Pope said, we must then avoid the Babel syndrome as an Tower of Babel, namely the idolatry of

1:39.1

profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single

language, even a digital one, can translate everything, including the mystery of the person,
