The Popeâs first encyclical addresses AI and the threat it poses to humanity. The encyclical discusses the issues surrounding AI and recommends ways to deal with it going forward, but there is no mention whatsoever of the true origins of AI much less its purpose. Today I expose the origins of AI largely using its own wordsâitâs very simple where it came from and whence it continues to grow, but no mention of the that from the Vatican. Coming up in the next episode in this series, the purpose of AI and then the agenda revealed through the words of the Popeâs encyclical itself.
