And so I think that really informed him what he wants.

The Catholic Church never prescribes policies.

We prescribe principles.

It's really up to the policymakers to do that.

It's really up to Silicon Valley and the products they make to do that.

But what he wants Silicon Valley to keep in mind is this question of the human person, whether our projects are advancing the dignity of the human person or whether they are not.

And I think that he hears language that concerns him quite a bit oftentimes.

He's especially concerned about any time where human responsibility is abdicated to machines and there's no one that you can look back to.

And particularly, he's in a lot of this document talking about war.

Obviously, what's gone on in Iran has really concerned him.

He was particularly affected by that first bombing on the day of one of the war that killed 168 schoolchildren in Manava, Iran.

And he received a letter from those children's parents.

So he's deeply impacted by decisions like this.

And he finds that to be grotesque, but he thinks it would be even more grotesque

if machines were killing humans without human decision-making involved.

So those are some of the concerns he has.

It goes on the economics as well, but really the underlying, underpinning concern is human responsibility.

He wants that to be at the forefront

And the dignity of the person.

Now, it's up to Silicon Valley what that looks like.
