Do Not Renounce Your Ability to Think

"Do not renounce your ability to think."

That sentence, offered almost in passing in a recent message by Pope Leo XIV on artificial intelligence (AI), deserves to be read as more than a message from a religious leader. For me, it functions as a diagnosis. Not of technology itself, but of a growing human vulnerability—one that has become visible only because artificial systems now speak, listen, persuade and respond with such ease.

The Pope’s message is striking for what it does not do. It does not condemn innovation or frame AI as an enemy. Instead, it focuses on something far more fragile and that's the conditions under which human thought still feels necessary.
