ABOARD THE PAPAL FLIGHT, Sept 28 - Pope Leo on Monday said concerns that artificial intelligence could destroy the world are not "fake news" and should be taken seriously, in an apparent rebuke of US President Donald Trump.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
“I do think that the concerns raised by many of the experts, specialists in AI should be taken seriously,” he stressed.
The pope said he had read on Monday that the head of chipmaker Nvidia had announced there could be a way to insert guardrails into certain AI models.
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang told CBS News this month that he agreed with Trump that safety concerns about AI were overblown.
"I think that there are enough people seriously interested in that … but we have to keep working," said the pope.
