Pope Leo XIV Calls Out AI as Today’s Greatest Test - Agree?
May 12th 2025 | Superintelligence Newsletter
Hey Superintelligence Fam 👋
From OpenAI’s $3B Windsurf acquisition to Claude’s web search rollout and memory-driven agents - AI is rewriting the rules of software, coding, and cognition at lightning speed.
Even the Vatican is paying attention. Pope Leo XIV called AI humanity’s greatest challenge, reminding us that while machines learn to think, humans must learn to stay ethically grounded. Lets dive into into these individually

Create your own AI Agents 👨🏭👩🏭 - You don’t need another productivity hack, You need a system that works without you.
While most people juggle tabs and chase tasks, a few are handing it all off - to AI agents that don’t assist, they act. Imagine:
Your email replies are done. 📬
Instagram posted. 📸
Calendar managed. 🗓️
40+ apps humming in the background. ⚙️🤖
All without lifting a finger. 🧘♂️
On Tuesday, May 13th at 10 AM EST, we're pulling back the curtain.
It’s a Masterclass showing you how to architect AI agents that actually run your work - across 40+ tools - so you can focus on the parts only you can do. This is your invite.
