Pope Leo specifically points to artificial intelligence here.
Pope Leo XIV explains his choice of name:. ". I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution.

We are now 3 ballots in, with no 2/3 consensus. Remember, Benedict was elected on the fourth ballot in 2005, and Francis was elected on the fifth ballot in 2013. Though: most experts think there's a very good chance this one goes longer.

Black smoke tonight! No new pope. But we can now tell you, because we frantically researched it, that the shortest-ever conclave was in 1503.
