Vatican: Pope calls on a pioneer of artificial intelligence. Pope Francis has appointed Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, to the Vatican's science body.
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences, founded in 1603, is the Vatican body responsible in particular for science, technology, bioethics and epistemology. Its members are not chosen on denominational criteria. In December, the Pope invited the international community to adopt a binding treaty to regulate the use of AI.
