Pope Leo rejects AI "fake news" claims after Trump calls fears a "hoax"
Pope Leo XIV told reporters that warnings from AI researchers should be "taken seriously" and are not "fake news." Why it matters: Leo is leading the Catholic Church as AI raises sweeping societal concerns , and he has made confronting those risks a key part of his papacy .
What the coverage shows
All eight outlets center on Pope Leo rejecting the idea that AI safety worries are “fake news” and saying the warnings should be taken seriously. Reuters, The AP, The Hill, Axios and Sky News all foreground the rebuttal, while ABC News and Al Jazeera keep the framing broader around AI risks. South China Morning Post is the only outlet to explicitly cast it as an apparent rebuke of Trump, and only The Hill mentions Leo saying he is not in “panic mode.”
