Gary Marcus met with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican to discuss artificial intelligence. Marcus praised the Pope's Encyclical on AI, "Magnifica Humanitas," highlighting five key points. These include the idea that AI's future is not predetermined but shaped by human choices, that AI should be viewed as a tool rather than a person, and that critical decisions affecting human life must retain human oversight, advocating for a ban on lethal autonomous weapons. The Pope also stressed that AI technologies should serve the common good and emphasized the need for effective international institutions to implement ethical AI principles and ensure accountability.
