Two separate public statements on the role and limits of artificial intelligence were filed 4 October 2026.

Li Svajer of Damovo stated the technology will not empty contact centres or fully replace employees. Svajer said AI will instead primarily take over repetitive tasks, and change how workers operate.[^1]

Pope Leo XIV separately stated there is an ontological difference between art created by humans and output generated by artificial intelligence.[^2]

Speaking to gathered artists, the Pope added that the Church needs artists, especially in the current age of artificial intelligence.[^3]
