Pope Leo XIV and Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles both issued recent statements emphasizing that artificial intelligence must serve human dignity and relationships, according to Public Square Magazine. The convergent messaging reflects growing religious attention to AI ethics.

Gong's remarks came during a church gathering where he addressed technology's role in families and communities. The Pope's statement was part of broader Catholic teaching on technology and human flourishing.

Both religious leaders warned against allowing AI to replace human connection or erode face-to-face relationships. The statements join a widening interfaith conversation on AI's social and moral implications.
