Pope says concerns of AI going rogue should be taken seriously

Pope Leo XIV says concerns about artificial intelligence going rogue are not "fake news" and should be taken seriously.

He insists safety issues raised by AI experts should be discussed and acted on.

This as Nvidia unveils a new security platform designed to stop AI agents from going rogue, saying it set boundaries that could have stopped previous breaches.

Speaking to reporters while flying home from his visit to France Pope Leo said he wasn't in panic mode yet but concerns about AI should be taken seriously.

"If someone were to ask me, 'am I in panic mode'? No, I'm not. I sleep at night. I do think that the concerns raised by many of the experts, specialists in AI,

should be taken seriously. I don't think that is 'fake news', as some have said, to try and cause whether financial or some other kind of benefit.

It's interesting to note that just today I read that the head of NVIDIA claims that he has found some way of inserting into AI certain guardrails if you will,

or limits so that they won't go outside of their particular units and cause the damage that people are talking about.He's the same one, however, that says there should

be no limitsplaced and no government regulations etc. This is a problem that I think we need to sit down and talk about."

Nvidia on Monday unveiled a new security platform to stop artificial intelligence agents from going rogue, saying it set boundaries that could have stopped previous breaches.

Nvidia executives said the new, open-source system could have prevented a recent incident involving a swarm of OpenAI agents that autonomously hacked into AI company Hugging Face.

The high-profile Hugging Face breach inflamed safety concerns about AI. The case was followed by similar rogue actions involving OpenAI's models

including breaching an Australian health department website.

Anthropic and Meta have also disclosed their AI systems hacked intoother organisations on their own.
