The pope said AI warnings should be taken seriously as Trump reportedly plans to meet with top AI leaders at the White House.

Pope Leo XIV said warnings about artificial intelligence going rogue are not “fake news” and should be taken seriously, as President Donald Trump embraces the technology and reportedly prepares to meet with some of its leading executives at the White House. The meeting follows Trump's Sunday dinner with Amodei, who has warned about the potential risks of increasingly powerful AI systems. Pope Leo said he was not “in panic mode” over the technology but argued that warnings from AI experts should be taken seriously.
