教宗良十四世于周五呼吁教会与艺术家结成联盟，以在人工智能生成内容的时代保护人类创造力。
Pope XIV called Friday for the church to form an alliance with artists to protect human creativity during an era of AI-generated content.
为何重要：尽管他承认该技术可能带来的潜在益处，但教宗继续警告，人工智能的进步不能以牺牲人类尊严为代价。
Why it matters: Though he has acknowledged the technology's potential benefits, the pope continues to warn that AI progress cannot come at the expense of human dignity.
- 这一声明是在《纽约时报》报道Anthropic试图与宗教学者磋商，以将宗教道德融入Claude之后发表的。
• The statement comes after the New York Times reported on Anthropic's efforts to confer with religious scholars to infuse religious morals into Claude. What he's saying:
他的观点：“在人工智能时代，区分人类艺术与机器产物变得刻不容缓，”他在文中写道。
"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce," the wrote on
- “在美学差异之前，艺术与机器基于数百万张由他人创作的图像进行统计计算所生成的内容之间，存在着本体论上的差异。算法缺乏人性的火花。”
• "There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity."
- 良十四世表示，天主教会正在呼吁“与艺术家和文化机构结盟，以捍卫我们的人性”。
• Leo said the Catholic Church is calling for "an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
宏观视角：良十四世此前曾就人工智能发表过言论，特别是关于该技术如何可能影响并潜在地伤害人类。
Zoom out: Leo has spoken out against AI before, specifically around how the technology could influence and potentially harm humanity.
- 在他教宗任期内的第一份通谕中，他指出需要“解除”该技术的武装，以防止其“支配人类”。
• In the first encyclical of his papacy, he said there was a need to "disarm" the technology to prevent it "from dominating humanity."
- 今年五月，教宗成立了一个梵蒂冈人工智能委员会，以协调教会围绕该技术的政策和工作。
• In May, the pope established a Vatican commission on AI to coordinate the church's policies and work around the technology.
上周，他警告说，“机器的天堂”正在入侵并接管我们的日常活动。他还表示，研究人员最近的警告应该“被认真对待”。• “我们必须继续努力。我们不能坐视不管，假装什么也不会发生，”他在九月底告诉记者。
Last week, he warned of a "paradise of machines" invading and taking over our daily activities. He also said that recent warnings from researchers should be "taken seriously." • "We have to keep working. We can't sit back and pretend nothing is going to happen," he told reporters in late September.
回顾：已故的方济各教宗也曾指出，人工智能有可能将人类简化为数据点。
Flashback: The late Pope Francis also that AI potentially risked reducing humans into data points.
