  "account": "Pope Leo XIV has called for an extensive discussion on artificial intelligence (AI) due to growing concerns surrounding the technology. During his flight back from France to Rome, the head of the Catholic Church emphasized that the worries expressed by many AI experts should be taken seriously. In his spring Enzyklika, a formal teaching document, Pope Leo discussed the opportunities and risks posed by AI, which garnered international attention.\n\nWhen asked if he shares concerns about AI potentially destroying humanity, the Pope responded from his aircraft: \"Am I in panic mode? No, I am not. I sleep soundly at night.\" However, he added that he doesn't believe the claims of \"fake news\" made by some to gain financial or other benefits. The Pope stressed that the Vatican has established its own commission on AI to find ways to ensure that the technology doesn't reach a point where it could destroy or displace humanity. He expressed relative optimism that a dialogue on the matter could begin, believing that there are enough people who are genuinely interested and willing to engage with the issue.",
