AI Could Wipe Out Humanity, Pope Leo XIV Says He Still Sleeps Peacefully - VIDEO

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV said he is not in a panic regarding the potential for artificial intelligence to pose catastrophic risks to humanity. During a session where Justin McLellan of the National Catholic Reporter asked about the possibility of AI wiping out the world, the pope stated that he still sleeps peacefully at night.

The pope noted that the warnings from AI experts should be taken seriously rather than dismissed as false information intended for financial gain. He mentioned a report regarding the head of NVIDIA claiming to have found ways to insert guardrails or limits into AI to prevent damage, though he observed that the same individual has argued against government regulation and limits on the technology.

Pope Leo XIV said that political leaders, AI industry leaders, and social organizations must meet to discuss current developments and future risks.
