The Archdiocese of Mexico called for regulation of artificial intelligence development and use, warning that AI is increasingly involved in decisions affecting people's work, reputation, access to services, and rights. [^3]

The call came in the archdiocese's weekly editorial 'Desde la Fe', carried by Metro Puerto Rico on Sept. 20. The editorial argues that any eventual regulation in Mexico should examine which decisions can remain exclusively in the hands of algorithms and which require human intervention. [^1]

It also raised questions about who bears responsibility when an AI system causes harm, and flagged risks to jobs, copyright, information veracity, and security. Vanguardia carried the same editorial the same day. [^4]

The editorial's background context notes that workers and former workers at technology companies Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have expressed concerns about the risks of increasingly advanced AI systems. [^2]
