He warns of new forms of exploitation behind it, from hidden labor to rare mineral mining to data taken without real consent.
Amid the rise of AI companies, automated warfare, and systems that can shape what people see and believe, Leo says responsibility must remain in human hands.
And he calls for more public oversight to disarm AI.

Shortly after his election, Leo said he wants Cardinals to have more opportunities to consult with the Pope on the future of the Church.
Pope Francis only held one such meeting with Cardinals during his tenure.
The two-day meeting is not public, but the agenda is expected to include reforms that Leo and Francis have made to how the Church is governed.
Conservatives expect that liturgy will also be discussed, as some hope that the new pope will eliminate restrictions placed by Pope Francis on the Latin Mass.
Cardinals are also expected to debate how Pope Leo's call for an unarmed and disarming peace can be heard in a world increasingly governed by force.

First of all, these men come from six different continents. Some represent very small Catholic communities from places like Japan and Serbia and Iran. It really is to show that Pope Francis wants to move the center of power in the Vatican away from the West and more towards a globalized church that can represent 1.3 billion believers around the world.
Well, the Vatican invited journalists to meet six of the new cardinals on Friday. And what really struck me is that these men are really representing the underdogs, not just in the political spectrum, but also when it comes to church teaching. For example, I spoke to a bishop born in Ukraine.
who at 44 is going to be the youngest cardinal of the College of Cardinals, and this likely means that he'll see plenty of conclaves. He made an impassioned speech for the plight of the Ukrainian people and how much he hopes that this position will help him speak to the Pope about what needs to be done to bring peace. The same can be said to the Chilean bishop of Palestinian origins,
who was made a cardinal, and he also talked about how much there is a need to come to a solution in Gaza and bring peace and resolution to the conflict there.
And talk about underdog, the Dominican friar Timothy Radcliffe was basically sidelined for 50 years of his ministry, where he challenged church teaching on inclusivity and welcoming towards marginalized groups, and especially women or LGBTQ Catholics. And it really reflects what kind of vision Pope Francis has for the future of the church.
Well, Pope Francis has remade the the College of Cardinals. This is the 10th time in his papacy that he adds new members to the crop. At this point, he has selected the majority of people who will decide who his successor is, 80% in fact. It's a way for him to cement his legacy. But he's also changed dramatically what it means to be a Once upon a time, they were considered princes of the church.
They had comfy lodgings and they couldn't be fired or tried if they did something wrong. That's no longer true under Pope Francis. In fact, during the mass that Pope Francis usually does after a consistory.
Yes, correct. the Pope has taken to delivering a finger-wagging speech to the cardinals, telling them that this is not a time for them to settle down and relax. In fact, it's a moment for them to really come forward and be of service to their communities and represents the needs of this incredibly diverse and growing reality that is the Catholic Church.
