YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA cold war has broken out between Silicon Valley and the Vatican, as they accuse one another of jeopardizing humanity’s future. NY Post contributor Rikki Schlott shares this story.
In a Monday encyclical letter, Pope Leo XIV warned mankind is facing the “risk of being misled by deceitful goals” in the age of AI and called on regulators to stand up to its creators.
The 42,000 word manifesto comes after Peter Thiel has repeatedly argued in a global speaking tour — including in Rome, right outside Vatican City — that a powerful figure trying to stymy technological progress will turn out to be the antichrist predicted by the New Testament.
It’s a frankly bizarre standoff between two very different Christian predictions about the future of AI: one in which AI delivers us to our maximal human potential, and the other in which AI represents an existential risk to our very humanity.
