The Pope @Pontifex just gave the AI industry the gift of seriousness.

Now it's our turn to be worthy of it. #ai @podstreetHQ

@NatashaVermaTV @fox5ny Thank you for having me on!

[Natasha Verma @NatashaVermaTV]

Tech expert Chris Dessi joins me on the 6pm to discuss why Pope Leo warns AI could damage humanity @fox5ny

[Chris Dessi @chrisdessi]

Learn the technology. Use it to enhance your work, your craft, your curiosity.

Don't outsource your humanity to it.

That's the deal.

[Chris Dessi @chrisdessi]

I closed the segment with two words.

They're a Catholic phrase, but they're for everyone:

**Be not afraid.**

[Chris Dessi @chrisdessi]

Chris Olah @ch402 from @AnthropicAI was in the front row at the Vatican.

That changes the frame.

This isn't Church vs Tech. It's Church and Tech, finally having the conversation we should have been having five years ago.

[Chris Dessi @chrisdessi]

Tech side says the Pope is out of his depth.
Conservative side says he's not strict enough.

When you're getting hit from both sides, you're usually in the right place.
