It is a very, well, one, I think it's highly interesting to have a figure like the Pope weigh in with an opinion on it.

Like, typically, they are known for being kind of opinionless.

They don't get involved.

It's a bit like the king.

They just don't go there.

It does tell you something about AI and this massive tectonic effect it's having on society that he feels like he wants to make a comment on it.

I mean, this isn't just, and I know people are getting booed off stages at colleges in America for comparing it to the Industrial Revolution, which Janine Wright did as well in her interview, and I listened back.

But it does give you the sense of sort of how big this thing is.

It's not kind of flashing the pan.

It's not going to go away.

It's not kind of this small thing at all.

So, you know, maybe more from the Pope on AI.

Who knows?

Should we try and get him on the show?

He won't be around much.

He's busy.

He's booked and busy, isn't he, the Pope?

We're offending a lot of people at the moment.

Well, yeah, I wouldn't go as far to say it was regulation.

It was kind of a voluntary thing that if AI companies are building stuff, please could you come to us and tell you what you're building, just so the US government knows.
