Does your worth depend on being efficient or profitable? Is any technology neutral? Can a machine be held responsible? Does the market's invisible hand serve the common good? Does building the most powerful AI grant the right to govern? Is any war still just, and should a machine decide who dies? Does any of it make us more human? Pope Leo XIV's first AI encyclical answers all seven.

ICE Explores Using Digital Advertising Data to Track Immigrants

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is reportedly exploring new methods to monitor and target immigrants by requesting information on how to access data from digital advertisers. This data could include users' social media activity, online purchases, and web browsing habits. According to Politico, this is the first public request of its kind by ICE, raising concerns among privacy advocates and tech industry leaders. Brian O'Kelley, CEO of an AI advertising company, expressed alarm, stating that the use of digital advertising ecosystems to track individuals is deeply concerning and potentially invasive. ICE representatives framed the initiative as part of their mission under the current administration to identify and remove dangerous individuals from the U.S., emphasizing that all actions would be within legal boundaries. Critics argue that the initiative could lead to broader surveillance, especially given the political climate and fears of retribution under the Trump administration. This development reflects ongoing debates around privacy, government surveillance, and the ethical use of commercial data for law enforcement purposes.
