Pope Leo says AI risk concerns not ‘fake news’

Pope Leo XIV stated that concerns about AI going rogue are not ‘fake news’ and should be taken seriously, emphasizing the importance of discussing and addressing safety issues raised by AI experts. During a press conference on his flight from Metz to Rome, he criticized tech CEOs, including Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, for their contradictory stances on AI regulation. The Vatican has recently increased its efforts to promote international governance of AI, especially in nuclear technology, culture, and the arts.
