From National Catholic Reporter:
Pope Leo XIV has been named to Time magazine’s “Time 100 AI” list for 2025, recognized as one of the world’s top “thinkers” shaping how humanity confronts artificial intelligence.
Time magazine said Leo has chosen a name “in part to meet a revolution: that of AI.” The list includes “leaders,” “innovators,” “shapers.” Leo has been listed in the “thinkers” category. If Leo continues to marshal the world’s Catholics against AI’s alienating potential, Time said, “Silicon Valley faces a formidable — and unexpected — spiritual counterweight.” Time underlined the influence and magnitude of the institution Pope Leo leads, saying, “The Catholic Church comprises 1.4 billion believers; were it a nation, the church would be the world’s third-largest.” The magazine described the pontiff as someone who, in terms of AI, is “already making good on his vow.”
