Pope Leo XIV says AI safety concerns are not 'fake news', contradicting Trump
Pope Leo XIV, speaking to reporters aboard the papal plane returning from France on September 28, 2026, said that concerns about AI going rogue are not 'fake news' and should be taken seriously. The statement directly contradicts President Trump, who has called such concerns a 'hoax' and dismissed calls for AI regulation. Leo, who dedicated his first encyclical 'Magnificent Humanity' to AI and human protection, called for political and industry leaders to come together to address the risks.
