Comment by Pope Francis
Head of the Catholic Church (2013–2025)
in light of the tragedy that is armed conflict, it is urgent to reconsider the development and use of devices like the so-called ‘lethal autonomous weapons’ and ultimately ban their use. This starts from an effective and concrete commitment to introduce ever greater and proper human control. No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being.Verified source (2024)

The official Vatican transcript of Pope Francis’s June 14, 2024 G7 AI address contains this passage verbatim, immediately after “allow me to insist:”, and attributes the speech to him; the excerpt matches aside from normal quotation-mark styling.
