Brian Burch is the current ambassador of the US Embassy to the Holy See. He attended the pope’s “Magnifica Humanitas” presentation on Monday.
Later, on X, the Embassy’s official account shared Burch’s perspective, beginning with a note that the Vatican leadership “contributes meaningfully” to the broader AI conversation.
“The United States shares the Holy See’s commitment to ensuring AI serves humanity and upholds fundamental values,” Burch said. “The Trump Administration believes that American leadership in AI innovation is essential to our national security and economic prosperity of our people. Our approach prioritizes pro-innovation policies enabling the private sector to develop transformative AI technologies that benefit people worldwide.”
He also said that the US aims to use American AI technology to create systems that “reflect democratic values rather than authoritarian control.”
