Pope creates artificial intelligence study group as Vatican prepares to release his first encyclical

May 17,26 | 01:39 EST

Pope Leo XIV has established an in-house study group on artificial intelligence, signaling the Vatican's ongoing deep concern regarding the technology. This initiative precedes the release of his first encyclical, a significant document expected to advocate for an ethics-based approach to AI, emphasizing human dignity and global peace. The creation of the study group was prompted by the rapid acceleration of AI's use and its profound potential impacts on humanity. This new encyclical is anticipated to frame the AI discussion within the established context of Catholic social teachings, drawing parallels to Pope Leo XIII’s 'Rerum Novarum' which addressed the societal changes brought by the Industrial Revolution.

Artificial Intelligence-Generated Photonics: Map Optical Properties to Subwavelength Structures Directly via a Diffusion Model

May 16,26 | 01:40 EST

Harnessing the power of generative AI, researchers at Tsinghua University have developed AIGP—a diffusion-based generative framework that enables instant translation of optical properties into fabrication-ready metasurfaces. By using transmission, phase, and polarization as “prompts,” AIGP directly maps optical properties to subwavelength, fabricable structures, generating high-fidelity metasurface designs in seconds. This breakthrough overcomes critical bottlenecks in photonic inverse design.
