Story summary
On September 28, Pope Leo XIV said during a press conference aboard his flight back to Rome from France that concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) causing catastrophic harm are not "fake news" and should be addressed seriously. This statement was seen as an apparent rebuttal to US President Donald Trump, who had previously dismissed similar worries at the UN General Assembly as a hoax.
Pope Leo also criticized tech CEOs like Nvidia's Jensen Huang, who argue against government regulation of AI despite acknowledging potential safety measures. The pope emphasized that experts' warnings should be taken seriously and discussed further, highlighting ongoing debates between policymakers and industry leaders about how to manage rapid technological advancements in AI while ensuring human safety.
The pontiff’s comments reflect growing international concern over the unregulated development of powerful new AI systems and their potential threats to society.
