Pope Francis has urged the clergy of the Roman diocese to avoid the use of artificial intelligence in delivering sermons. Speaking during a recent meeting, he emphasized the importance of human intellect and the need to exercise the brain.
"All the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, die. The brain needs to be exercised as well, so our intellect must be put to work," he stated.
The Pope asserted that no matter how advanced AI technology becomes, it cannot replace the personal connection and faith that a living priest provides. "A sermon is a transmission of faith. AI will never be able to share faith," he remarked.
In addition to his remarks on AI, Pope Francis cautioned against the misleading nature of social media, highlighting the misconception that online followers and likes equate to genuine spiritual connections.
