Pope Leo on the plane yesterday. Coming home from France. Someone asked about AI apocalypse fears. Panic mode?
He said no. I sleep at night. That is his line. Eyes open. Heart steady.
He also said the warnings from people who build this stuff should be taken seriously. Not fake news. Not a stunt for money. Not something to close your eyes to.
Why I sleep at night still matters
He wants leaders to sit down. Political. AI. Social groups. Talk about what is happening. Keep the person in the conversation. Make sure AI does not remove humanity from the room.
He mentioned Nvidia talk about guardrails. And the same voice saying no government limits. That tension is the problem. Dialogue. Study. Investigation. The Vatican has a commission on AI after Magnifica Humanitas. Contacts keep coming in.
That is the balance I want. Tool in the hand. Not an idol on the shelf. Hope looks like I sleep at night with the window still open.
