"Young people should not use AI for homework, but rather..." Pope Leo's special message on new technology

News Topical, Digital Desk : Speaking live from the Vatican at a National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, Pope Leo delivered several important messages to young people. During a question-and-answer session, he told 15,000 US youth that AI, or artificial intelligence, should be used wisely.

He said that artificial intelligence can be a useful tool for learning, but don't use it for your homework. The Pope delivered this message at a time when AI is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. He said that AI is becoming one of the hallmarks of our time.

'AI should be used responsibly'

Pope says using AI responsibly means using it in ways that help you move forward. Don't ask it to do your homework.

Pope Leo, the first Pope of the United States, spoke to young people for about 40 minutes at the first such event of his six-month papacy. He answered questions about the Catholic faith and offered advice on making friends in school.

Leo Pope also spoke on politics

He also briefly touched on politics during his session. He said that Jesus wants Christians to be bridge builders instead of walls and cited one of the late Pope Francis' harshest criticisms of Trump.

Leo asked the youth to be careful not to use political categories when talking about faith and the church. He further explained that the church is not affiliated with any political party. Rather, it helps to form your conscience so that you can think and act with wisdom and love.
