Pope tells G7 leaders AI can be a both terrifying and fascinating tool

Pontiff says it should never be for machines to decide whether human beings should live or die Pope Francis has made a historic address to G7 leaders urging them to recognise they have the power to decide if artificial intelligence becomes a terrifying or creative tool, as he urged them to act to ban the use of autonomous weapons in war. In the first address by a pope to a meeting of G7 leaders, he said it should never be for machines to decide whether human beings are to live or die.
