Axios·medium signal

The Vatican has issued formal AI guidelines requiring all AI-generated content to be 'clearly labeled and distinguished from content created by humans,' with prohibitions on AI uses that manipulate, discriminate, or threaten security, Axios reported April 24. Pope Leo XIV also told priests not to use AI to write homilies. Church leaders warn of a 'crisis of truth' from AI-generated content and engagement-maximizing algorithms.
