(OSV News) — Pope Leo XIV has been named to Time magazine’s “Time 100 AI” list for 2025, recognized as one of the world’s top “thinkers” shaping how humanity confronts artificial intelligence. The list is an “annual look at the most influential people in artificial intelligence,” Time said. But AI “raises troubling questions on its possible repercussions on humanity’s openness to truth and beauty, on our distinctive ability to grasp and process reality,” he added. Bishop Paul Tighe, a top official at the Vatican’s Dicastery for Culture and Education, speaking in Dublin Aug. 23, cautioned on artificial intelligence — warning that its hidden environmental costs, impact on jobs and broader social risks can’t be overlooked. According to Bishop Tighe, who was ordained for the Archdiocese of Dublin in 1983, AI and the social issues that it gives rise to will be a priority for Pope Leo XIV.
