 African Union calls for 'urgent de-escalation' after US, Israel launch attack on Iran The African Union urged cooler heads to prevail on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, warning that conflict could risk harming people on the continent. The pan-African body's head, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf called "for restraint, urgent de-escalation and sustained dialogue". "Further escalation risks worsening global instability, with serious implications for energy markets, food security, and economic resilience -- particularly in Africa, where conflict and economic pressures remain acute." The strikes come amid escalating tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme amid talks with the United States. Witnesses reported a powerful explosion in Iran’s capital, Tehran, with thick smoke rising, while the Iranian government has yet to comment, Reuters news agency reports.

 Pope Leo bans Catholic priests from using AI to write sermons


Pope Leo has banned priests from using AI to write sermons because it will ‘never be able’ to speak to God.

 

Leo XIV issued the warning during a closed-door meeting with clergymen from the Diocese of Rome on Thursday, Febuary 26.

 

After delivering his address to the clergy, Pope Leo XIV took part in a question-and-answer session with four priests from different age groups chosen to ask questions.

 

In response to one parish priest’s question about how to be effective in this postmodern culture while avoiding returning to ‘anachronistic’ approaches, the pope laid out his beliefs on AI.

 

The 70-year-old Pope said the first step is ‘truly knowing the community where I am called to serve’.

 

Recalling a recent visit to the southern neighbourhood of Ostia in Rome, he explained how ‘to speak with these people, we must begin by knowing their reality as deeply as possible’.

 

Calling upon the priests to continue to experience real life, he ordered them to stay vigilant over artificial intelligence and the internet, issuing a warning against ‘the temptation to prepare homilies with artificial intelligence’.

 

He added: ‘Like all the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, if we do not move them, they die.

 

‘The brain needs to be used, so our intelligence must also be exercised a little so as not to lose this capacity.’

 

He explained that ‘to give a true homily is to share faith,’ and insisted AI ‘will never be able to share faith’.

 

‘If we can offer a service that is inculturated in the place, in the parish where we are working, people want to see your faith, your experience of having known and loved Jesus Christ,’ he added.
