Global AI Oversight Demanded
Bill Gates and Pope Leo XIV Urge Governments to Establish Strict AI Oversight
Anonymous
Bill Gates called for Congress to require safeguards and monitoring for artificial intelligence, saying government oversight need not stifle the industry; he has also argued for a global response to threats such as cyberattacks and bioweapons. Pope Leo XIV urged governments and international bodies to establish shared, enforceable AI rules, warning that unchecked systems could undermine security, social trust and peace, spread misinformation, and enable autonomous weapons to outpace human control. During a visit to France, he called for stronger ethical education and scrutiny as AI shapes daily life, and warned it could erode human dignity and deepen economic dependence between poorer and wealthier nations. Opponents of regulation warn that restrictions could benefit China.
