Pope Francis observed the 58th World Day of Social Communications by urging humanity to cultivate genuinely humane forms of communication, particularly in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. He emphasized the importance of embracing the "wisdom of the heart" amidst technological advancements.
During his address on Ascension Sunday, known as the Regina Caeli, the Pope emphasized the necessity of reconnecting with a heartfelt wisdom to navigate the complexities of our era and to restore authentic human interaction. These sentiments resonated with his official message titled “Artificial Intelligence and the Wisdom of the Heart: Towards a Fully Human Communication.”
Furthermore, Pope Francis expressed gratitude to all individuals engaged in the communications field for their contributions and efforts.
In addition to reflecting on World Communications Day, Pope acknowledged the celebration of Mother's Day in many countries. He encouraged everyone to appreciate and honor mothers, both present and departed, and entrusted them to the care of Mary, the heavenly mother. Pope concluded by inviting a round of applause for all mothers as a token of recognition and gratitude.
