This does not go far enough. AI is deeply anti-human and criminal in its current form. It is controlled by technocrats, steals IP and is used as an excuse for making people unemployed. If the Vatican comes out categorically against abortion, it can (try to) ban AI as well among its followers. There is nothing in the bible that would support replacing human thought with machines.

Intellectual Property is one of the last true oppressive forces on humankind's progress. Its purpose is to concentrate wealth and power and extract wealth from everyone else, on what amounts to trickle-down theory: that someone needs to own all the wealth so they can "create jobs" for the plebs. The idea that this protects "lone" inventors is a farce, as in the best case, this "lone" inventor then becomes a rich magnate. China has long made the idea moot, since they can make a clone of anything for cheaper and sell it right back to us. I can't wait for AI to kill IP, so we can move on to a society with less wealth inequality and cheaper access to information and technology. As far as being anti-human? No technological device has ever made us better people. We're clearly capable of killing each other by the millions without computers at all. AI is just another tool, which can be used for both good and bad, like every other tool we've made. If you're scared of it it's because you believe somehow the normal rules don't apply, but they do. Human societies are governed by human relationships. The tools are merely wielded by humans as a part of those human relationships. We, as a collective society, dictate how the tools are used, by whom, for what purpose. Even when it's "someone in power" wielding them, we decide who is in power, by our compliance to and support of power. In other words, no tool, even AI, will change the fact that it's humans that dictate how their world works. You cannot blame the hammer for bashing someone's skull in.
