Dusseldorf. Pope Leo XIV criticizes Nvidia boss Jensen Huang for his handling of the risks of artificial intelligence. The head of the Catholic Church spoke out on his return from a visit to France to take concerns about the development of the technology seriously. The “Financial Times” first reported on it.

Pope Leo regularly comments on the topic of AI and published an encyclical, a kind of papal teaching document, in May 2026. Among other things, he wrote that AI must be “disarmed” and urgently serve humanity. The fact that he takes a position on specific statements made by technology CEOs is still considered unusual.

Huang, head of the world's largest chip company, and US President Donald Trump rejected calls to slow down the development of AI models in a coordinated effort. OpenAI boss Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei spoke out in favor of it after several AI security problems.

The pope told reporters on the flight back from Metz to Rome that he had read about additional security measures that Nvidia had introduced for AI developers, but questioned how serious Huang was about it. “He is the one who said that there is no need for barriers and no legal regulation,” the pope said. “I think the concerns raised by many AI experts need to be taken seriously.”

Leo, who has been critical of US President Trump on several occasions, also contradicted his claim that public concerns about artificial intelligence were “fake news”. That is not the case, said the Pope.

He pleaded for a serious approach to the risks of AI: "If someone asks me: Am I panicking? No, I'm not, I sleep well at night. But this is a problem that we have to sit down and talk about."

Representatives from leading AI companies will meet with Trump at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the technology again. In addition to Amodei, Google boss Sundar Pichai and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg are said to be among the guests.
