教皇利奥十四世呼吁给 AI 解除武装，敦促联合国禁用致命自主武器
Pope Leo calls for the disarmament of AI: ‘Machines are tools, not persons’
- 1教皇利奥十四世在周五讲话中敦促联合国成员国下月在日内瓦采取具体步骤，禁用致命性自主武器。
- 2他呼吁给 AI 解除武装，称机器是工具而非人，人类有责任引导、必要时拒绝其应用。
- 3教皇警告勿赋予 AI 权利或法律人格，涉生命、自由与武力的决定须始终处于人类有效监督下。
- 4讲话延续其 5 月重要教皇文件的主题；2024 年教皇方济各也曾呼吁禁止自主武器。
梵蒂冈把致命自主武器禁令与 AI 人格化议题推上联合国议程，显示 AI 治理压力正从技术监管扩展到国际道义层面。
- 影响：涉军或自主武器相关的 AI 业务面临更直接的国际限制呼声；讲话主张的共同标准、独立监督与问责机制一旦被国际机构采纳，跨国 AI 部署的合规与审计要求会相应增加。
- 参考：涉军或高风险决策类 AI 业务可盘点存在自主决策环节的场景，确认人类监督与问责记录是否完整可审计；值得对照讲话提出的独立监督要求，评估下月日内瓦会议结论对合规安排的影响。
- 依据：论据来自教皇周五讲话的媒体转述，属官方表态而非有约束力的规则；下月日内瓦会议结果原文未提及。

Pope Leo XIV says AI systems should be “disarmed,” adding that humans “have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications.” In Friday’s Papal Address, Pope Leo encourages United Nations member states to “take concrete steps toward banning lethal autonomous weapons” during their meeting in Geneva next month.
The address reflects many of the ideas Pope Leo laid out in his first major papal document in May, which highlighted “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.” In line with his encyclical, Pope Leo tells participants that “Machines are tools, not persons,” and warns about the dangers of granting AI systems rights or legal personhood. “Decisions affecting human life, freedom, and the use of force must always remain subject to effective, informed, and responsible human oversight,” Pope Leo says.
In 2024, Pope Francis similarly called for a ban on autonomous weapons, saying, “No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being.” AI has become a popular topic for Pope Leo, who suggests he chose his name because he must confront advances in the technology — similar to how Pope Leo XIII presided over the church at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution.
Pope Leo closes out his address by calling for international institutions to safeguard the common good from AI-related risks, along with “shared standards, independent oversight and clear mechanisms of accountability so that decisions concerning the development and use of AI can be examined, challenged when necessary, and accompanied by appropriate remedies for any harm caused.”
