Pope Leo XIV has criticised Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang over AI safety, dismissing the idea that warnings from AI researchers are 'fake news' and urging world leaders to agree to common limits.
Speaking aboard the papal plane on 28 September, flying from Metz to Rome at the end of a four-day visit to France, Leo said the concerns raised by many experts 'should be taken seriously.' He rejected the notion that they were 'fake news as some have said,' invented to secure financial or other gain.
