Ayatollah Alireza Arafi on AI

Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, member of the Assembly of Experts and former head of Islamic seminaries in Iran:

"I recently heard that Pope Leo XIV wrote an encyclical letter titled ‘Magnifica Humanitas’, calling for the disarmament of Artificial Intelligence.

I found the letter very good; humanity must rid itself of this AI, which defies all divine purpose and is used in evil ways the majority of times. We must be aware of this.

It is truly a worthy goal of a joint intellectual Jihad / Crusade, in which our Christian brethren can play an important role."

The encyclical may be found here:
