Vice President JD Vance praised Pope Leo XIV's warning about artificial intelligence, calling it "profound." The remarks are a rare compliment from a high-ranking member of the Trump administration after public feuds between top officials and the pontiff.
In an interview with NBC News, the Vice President, a Catholic himself, discussed Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo's first major encyclical. The document warns that AI, if unregulated, could harm humanity more than it helps it.
