Pope Leo XIV discussed the changing nature of communication, saying new technologies have made it possible to connect instantaneously while also creating new challenges on Friday at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) headquarters in Paris. "Communication has become much faster, but not necessarily more truthful," Pope Leo said during his several day visit to France. "Information is abundant, but that is not synonymous with wisdom." He said communication channels can spread false information and words without meaning, potentially hindering dialogue. "Without a shared ethical foundation so many channels of communication risk, multiplying false information and giving currency to words, devoid meaning thereby hindering dialogue rather than fostering it." the Pope said. Pope Leo also addressed artificial intelligence and its limitations in answering questions about human meaning and lived experience. #cspan #pope #ai #intelligence #ethics
