He reflected on faith, friendships, digital habits, and even shared lighthearted personal details\u2014like only wearing white socks and choosing a different Wordle starting word each day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While he acknowledged the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/news\/u-s-moves-to-halt-nvidias-sales-of-modified-ai-chips-to-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, such as staying connected over long distances and having access to prayer tools and Scripture resources, he cautioned against letting screens displace human interaction. Simple gestures\u2014a smile, a handshake, a hug\u2014are irreplaceable, he said, reminding students that faith must be lived in real communities, not just online spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pope encouraged young people to follow the example of St. Carlo Acutis, who used digital platforms to share the Gospel but kept firm limits on his time online. \u201cBe intentional with your screen time,\u201d Leo said. \u201cMake sure technology serves your life and not the other way around.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ethics, Faith, and Responsible Technology Use<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked specifically about AI tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/news\/openai-challenges-court-order-to-hand-over-20-million-chatgpt-logs-in-nyt-copyright-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a>, Pope Leo drew a clear line: they can assist learning, but should never substitute for a student\u2019s own thinking and effort. He reiterated the need for ongoing ethical reflection on artificial intelligence, echoing remarks he made earlier in the year calling for responsible oversight of emerging technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond digital concerns, Leo also urged students to cultivate prayer, participate actively in their parishes, and seek authentic friendships. He referenced his admiration for St. Augustine, noting that the saint searched widely for happiness but found true fulfillment only after opening his heart to God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pope briefly touched on political themes when discussing the broader mission of Christians, saying Jesus calls believers to \u201cbuild bridges instead of walls\u201d\u2014a familiar echo of criticisms of anti-immigration policies voiced by Pope Francis. But he warned young people not to let partisan categories define the way they think about faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As his papacy enters its sixth month, Pope Leo\u2019s conversation with American youth marked a significant moment in his outreach to younger generations. His message blended humor, pastoral warmth, and caution about the digital realities shaping modern life\u2014offering students both freedom to use <a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/pmp\/pmp-online-course-with-ai-based-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and a firm reminder to remain grounded in human relationships, faith, and responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points Pope Leo XIV warned U.S. students not to rely on artificial intelligence to complete their homework.
