Human-Centered Finance: In a separate address to Italian banks, Leo warned that algorithmic systems can make people feel “abandoned,” urging charity to guide financial decisions. Global Outreach: He also confirmed a September trip to France, including a stop at UNESCO in Paris amid budget strain after U.S. withdrawal.
