With the backing of various committees from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), several bishop-chairmen have reached out to U.S. Congress with a letter that offers ethical guidelines and policy suggestions regarding artificial intelligence. The document is based on the Church's commitment to human dignity and the common good, emphasizing that AI should benefit all of humanity.
"Artificial intelligence is rapidly shaping the future of our society," stated Bishop William D. Byrne, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Communications. "As pastors entrusted with the care of human life and dignity, we urge lawmakers to heed the call of our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, to help ensure that AI is developed with responsibility and discernment so that it may truly benefit every person."
