The pope waved to onlookers from a popemobile after speeches calling for peace and cautioning against losing humanity in an AI-driven “paradise of machines”.
Pope Leo XIV waved to cheering crowds from a popemobile as he travelled through Paris on Friday, 25 September, France 24 reported.
The ride followed speeches in which he called for peace and warned against losing humanity in an artificial intelligence-driven “paradise of machines”. The supplied report does not include the full remarks.
France 24 reported that believers hailed the pope during the ride. One person in the crowd called him “extraordinary”.
The journey was linked to Leo XIV’s visit to Notre-Dame Cathedral, where he led Vespers during a four-day trip to France. He had also met President Emmanuel Macron earlier that day in closed-door talks, according to the background brief.
