Generational artificial intelligence is seemingly everywhere these days, as between ambitious projects to develop super intelligence and AI being integrated into our everyday life, it seems inescapable. With concerns and valid criticism around the use of AI mounting, several authority figures have spoken about the risks and dangers of the technology, and now the Pope himself has urged leaders in this field to create something that respects human life.

"Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation," Pope Leo XIV posted on X. "It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work--to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life."

This echoes the Pope's thoughts on AI that he shared on the Vatican website, saying that AI poses a risk that could make people forget "how to recognize and cherish all that is truly human" as usage of AI increases. Since generative AI has taken off over the last few years, its impact has been felt across numerous industries--specifically the creative arts fields where programs like Midjourney have seen the lives of artists negatively impacted.

Critics of gen AI have also pointed out how it has further dumbed down the internet with "AI Slop" that has led to a massive increase in low-effort video and music content that drowns out legitimate creators, and there have also been calls to regulate AI and the data it feeds on.

Spending on AI is expected to reach $500 billion next year, and some analysts believe that the AI bubble might be ready to pop soon. In the video game industry, big publishers have begun to embrace AI for numerous purposes. Square Enix wants AI to automate up to 70% of its video game QA testing by 2027, PUBG parent company Krafton is pivoting toward becoming an "AI-first" company, and EA wants employees to view AI as a "thought partner."

Not everyone has been so gung-ho over the integration of AI into game development, as Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director Michael Douse has called out Square Enix for its plan to replace QA testers with it.
