"Face and voice are sacred". This is the core of Pope Leo XIV’s Message for World Communications Day. The document, titled “Safeguarding Human Voices and Faces”, addresses the challenges posed by artificial intelligence to communication and personal identity. "Protecting human faces and voices means protecting ourselves," warns the Pope, denouncing the intrusion of AI systems into "the deepest level of communication, that of relationships between human beings", by simulating human voices and faces, wisdom and knowledge, awareness and responsibility, empathy and friendship. He adds that the difficulty "is not technological, but anthropological". The Message examines the various threats of artificial intelligence. Leo XIV condemns algorithms that "reward rapid emotions and penalize more time-consuming human expressions, such as the effort to understand and reflect", trapping individuals in "bubbles of easy consensus and easy indignation", and increasing social polarization. Additionally, there is apprehension regarding the creative sector, which is at risk of being "dismantled and replaced with the label 'Powered by AI'", which would reduce individuals to "mere passive consumers of unthought thoughts, of anonymous, unauthorized, unloving products". Chatbots, "made excessively 'affectionate,' as well as always present and available, can become hidden architects of our emotional states". The risk, observes Leo XIV, is creating “a world of mirrors, where everything is made ‘in our image and likeness'", depriving us of encounters with others.
