  "account": "Pope Leo has stated during a press conference on his flight back to Rome that concerns about artificial intelligence potentially destroying the world should not be dismissed as \"fake news,\" as some have suggested. The pontiff, who has repeatedly warned about the dangers of AI since taking office 16 months ago, directly rebuked US President Donald Trump, who recently claimed the AI-related fears were a hoax. The Pope expressed skepticism towards Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's claim of a possible way to insert safety measures into certain AI models but acknowledged that there are individuals seriously concerned about the issue. He emphasized the need for ongoing dialogue, investigation, and study to ensure AI does not reach a point where it could endanger humanity.",
