Pope Leo says concerns about AI doom are not 'fake news'
NVDA•Pope Leo said concerns that artificial intelligence could destroy the world should be taken seriously, rejecting the idea that they are “fake news.” He also criticized technology CEOs who oppose limits and government regulation of AI.
1. Pope urges caution
Pope Leo said on Monday that concerns raised by AI experts about the technology’s dangers should be taken seriously. His comments came after U.S. President Donald Trump called fears about AI’s dangers to humanity a “hoax” at the United Nations General Assembly last week.
2. Criticism of AI executives
Leo also questioned Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s position on AI guardrails, saying Huang had announced a possible way to add guardrails to certain models but had also argued there should be no limits or government regulation. Huang told CBS News this month that he agreed with Trump that safety concerns about AI were overblown.
