Pope Leo XIV declared on Monday that fears surrounding artificial intelligence going rogue should not be dismissed as "fake news" and should be given serious consideration. The pope, who addressed AI in his first encyclical, urged a candid discussion about safety concerns raised by AI experts during a press conference. He stressed that such issues cannot be ignored or dismissed.
