Pope Leo XIV and AI Criticism from Pew Research
A Pew Research Center survey reveals that 52% of participants feel more concerned than excited about artificial intelligence, while Pope Leo XIV emphasized human-centric system design.
As automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence rapidly transform ways of working, public concerns are mounting, while recent poll results and critiques from Pope Leo XIV have brought the human dimension of technology back to the agenda.
The rapid transformation of business structures by automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence brings criticisms that this shift may not always yield better outcomes. It is emphasized that human-centric systems should be designed instead of performance-focused approaches. In this context, Pope Leo XIV made evaluations drawing attention to the importance of protecting humanity in the age of artificial intelligence.
A summer survey conducted by the Pew Research Center showed that 52% of participants feel more concern than excitement regarding artificial intelligence technology. The survey also noted that the majority of participants under the age of 30 expressed, for the first time over a five-year period, more concern than excitement regarding artificial intelligence.
