Content generated or manipulated by AI must be clearly labeled and distinguished from content created by humans. The authorship and sovereign ownership of the work of journalists and other content creators must be protected.

Quote confirmed via web search of Pope Leo XIV's message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications (dated January 24, 2026), hosted on the Vatican's official site (vatican.va). The source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but the text "Content generated or manipulated by AI are to be clearly marked and distinguished from content created by humans" and "The authorship and sovereign ownership of the work of journalists and other content creators must be protected" was corroborated nearly verbatim across multiple Catholic news outlets (USCCB, OSV, NCRegister). Author attribution correct (Pope Leo XIV, head of the Catholic Church). Year 2026 correct. Vote "for" aligns with statement "Mandate disclosure of AI-generated political advertising" — the Pope advances a general principle that all AI-generated/manipulated content must be clearly labeled and distinguished from human content, which directly supports mandatory disclosure of AI-generated political advertising as a subset. Note: the quote addresses AI content labeling broadly (in a journalism context) rather than political advertising specifically, but the principle is squarely supportive of the statement.
