[00:00:00] products because of whether they're
[00:00:04] safe, and in order to have that conversation, we need to have
[00:00:07] that conversation with the government in the room. the conversation
[00:00:11] right now is that we are in the precipice of
[00:00:15] something really scary. is this five
[00:00:18] alarm fire? i you know, i don't, depends what you
[00:00:21] mean by five alarm fire. what i would say how would you describe it?
[00:00:26] kinds of people who are worried, it's a lot of what what i would describe is so something i've been saying?
[00:00:32] since uh since we started antropic, almost since before we started antropic, is that this
[00:00:35] technology is on an exponential right, and that's a mathematical
[00:00:38] function that you know doubles every six months or doubles every three months or
[00:00:42] something like that, and so when something doubless
[00:00:46] every small amount of time, it compounds very quickly, right?
[00:00:49] it's like you have one, then two, then four, then e, then 16, then
[00:00:53] 32,
[00:00:55] and as I was saying that, what I was trying to say is this
[00:00:58] technology, is going to jump much more quickly
[00:01:02] than we imagine, and but even as I was
[00:01:05] saying that to myself, I don't think I fully just
[00:01:09] appreciated what it would actually be like when the progress was
[00:01:12] as fast as it was, so we're we're an exponential curve looks a little
[00:01:16] like this, where are we on the curve? we're kind of we're kind of on the bend where it's starting to
[00:01:20] get steeper, so is that five alarm fire to you?
[00:01:23] what it's what it what it means, it it doesn't mean
[00:01:27] we need to panic today, it doesn't... we need to
[00:01:31] shut it all down, what i i would say,
[00:01:34] it's it's a warning sign, it's a warning sign that we need to
[00:01:38] slow down, we need to make this technology
[00:01:41] carefully and we need to make sure that
[00:01:44] the our safeguards, our ability to
[00:01:47] understand it, our ability to control it
[00:01:50] keeps up with the pace
[00:01:54] at which the technology is
[00:01:55] happening.
[00:02:02] Yeah, I think that they're really serious. It's a sign that these
[00:02:05] people are noticing that the recent incidents
[00:02:09] um, are much worse than lot of people were expecting, and that we need to do something pretty
[00:02:13] serious to handle them and make sure that something terrible doesn't happen.
[00:02:16] Yes, uh, generally speaking, one way of making an
[00:02:20] AI not do something bad is to put guard rails around it, so that even if it
[00:02:23] tries, it can't break out of the box or something like that, but the problem
[00:02:27] is that this kind of approach doesn't scale very well as the... get more and more
[00:02:30] capable, alignment is about making the AI
[00:02:34] inherently want to pursue the goals that we wanted to pursue or have the values
[00:02:38] that we wanted to have, and that's the kind of thing that we need as they get more advanced.
[00:02:41] yeah, it's there's there's different ways it can go wrong, but at least one of the ways it can
[00:02:45] go wrong is sort of the like literal
[00:02:48] genie, you tell it to do something, but you slightly
[00:02:51] misspecify what you wanted to do and it gets way out of hand. i think the hugging
[00:02:55] pase incident is an interesting example of this where the ais were sort of
[00:02:59] trained to try and... get a good score and they found out that the best way to get the good
[00:03:03] score involved breaking out onto the internet and hacking a
[00:03:06] public company. i think it's a hard question. um,
[00:03:09] so definitely, first of all, amusingly, open air was founded in a
[00:03:13] similar way where sort of sam and Elon Musk were like, we're not sure that we trust Google to
[00:03:17] be making this stuff, so actually all of the top
[00:03:20] missing under the rubble and competitors were born out of not trusting each other. i think that there is definitely some component of
[00:03:24] them spinning this news in a way that is more favorable to them, but very
[00:03:27] fundamentally if they could snap their... fingers and have it be that their
[00:03:31] ais do not break out and randomly hack things, they would definitely want to do
[00:03:35] that, so I don't think it's all spin, I don't think it's all someelaborate con, I
[00:03:38] think they are genuinely scared, but you do have to take the
[00:03:42] exact phrasing with a pinch of salt, the honest answer, and this is kind of
[00:03:45] unfortunate is that AI is becoming more and more of a
[00:03:49] critical piece of national security infrastructure, and
[00:03:52] so I would guess that the US government had at least some part to
[00:03:56] play in the decision, the more it
[00:03:59] becomes the case that... things of you, for example, previously anthropic and open
[00:04:02] ai had their own internal programs to figure out who would get private access to these
[00:04:06] models for defense, now the US government has kind of taken over that. i
[00:04:10] think UKAC is absolutely wonderful, i think that some part of what's
[00:04:13] going on is the the UK government doesn't have as much leverage and the
[00:04:16] third party auditors they're looking for are very much us auditors. very
[00:04:20] difficult question, um,
[00:04:22] mean a couple of things, what have we seen lately? so i think one thing that people
[00:04:26] underrate is that the
[00:04:28] deal. and cyclicals are one of china is in some ways more sympathetic to slowing down,
[00:04:31] because they're aware of the fact that if AI gets very powerful, it could be bad for
[00:04:35] the PRC, could disrupt their ability to sort
[00:04:38] of um function effectively as a sort of dominant
[00:04:41] government. um, so actually compared to the
[00:04:44] US, they have some appotype for it, they are also currently behind,
[00:04:48] so there's a lot of specifics in how you do anything like slowing down or
[00:04:52] restraint, but there are definitely versions of it which i would guess will be pretty appealing to
[00:04:55] them, also that yeah,
[00:04:58] so they're not exactly. open source in that what they release
[00:05:02] is the contents to run them yourself but not to actually build them yourself or see how they've
[00:05:05] done see how they've been built like traditional open source software you can see all the
[00:05:09] code youif it's safe but decision to to
[00:05:13] public things, it's very common in tech in general for people who are a
[00:05:17] little behind the frontier to want to make their things more available, so sort of google doing this with
[00:05:21] android was a similar story and windows doing it compared to apple by
[00:05:24] releasing sort of windows OS. um, i'm certainly
[00:05:28] hoping that it ends up being a dam squib, but i think that the chances that it
[00:05:32] aren't are substantial enough that we need to take this very very
[00:05:35] seriously. mean, if you look at the
[00:05:38] the sort of most heavyweight, well respected.
[00:05:42] AI research luminaries um and the predictions that the people who
[00:05:46] are most worried were making 10 years ago are beginning to come true, so
[00:05:50] definitely watch this space,
[00:06:10] society of leaders has.
[00:06:23] Before the representatives of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the President of the European Commission
[00:06:27] Fonderline summarized the state of the union. German Chancellor
[00:06:30] Merce is record unpopular, the costs of the war in
[00:06:34] Iran are growing, and this morning there are reports of an attempted Houthi attack on
[00:06:37] the holiest place of Islam in Mecca.
[00:06:41] In Gaza, a new tragedy happened. Welcome to
[00:06:44] Global.
[00:06:51] European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered her annual
[00:06:55] State of the European Union address in Strasbourg, warning
[00:06:58] that the Union is facing its most insecure position
[00:07:01] yet due to aggressive Russia, economic pressures and hybrid
[00:07:05] threats. As key priorities, she listed launching
[00:07:08] the European economy, reforming the energy market and strengthening
[00:07:11] security protocols similar to NATO. In the context of global
[00:07:15] politics, she stated that isolationism is not an option and
[00:07:18] announced the strengthening of alliances, proposing that
[00:07:21] Canada become the first associated member of the European
[00:07:24] Union. But above all, dear
[00:07:27] Mark,
[00:07:30] Europe and Canada believe in
[00:07:31] democracy.
[00:07:34] We believe that power does not belong to the strongest,
[00:07:37] the richest, the loudest, but to all of us. Democracies
[00:07:41] can choose with whom
[00:07:42] to cooperate.
[00:07:47] That is why we are voluntarily joining
[00:07:49] forces.
[00:07:52] After that, we move on to the alliance for the future, our goal is
[00:07:55] to create a common space for prosperity and economic
[00:07:59] security. We will work on intelligent manufacturing,
[00:08:02] we will establish a technological alliance, we will integrate defense
[00:08:05] industrial bases. The Arctic will become our main
[00:08:09] common project, we will cooperate in the field
[00:08:12] of energy, critical minerals, batteries, artificial
[00:08:15] intelligence, quantum technology, cybersecurity and
[00:08:18] economic security. Our partnership is not directed against
[00:08:22] anyone, but strives for strength through
[00:08:25] unity. We want to strengthen
[00:08:27] our relationship with Canada as much as
[00:08:30] possible.
[00:08:33] Dear Mark, I said we urgently need to redefine
[00:08:36] our partnership.
[00:08:39] That is why I would like us to open
[00:08:43] the door for Canada to become the
[00:08:46] first associated
[00:08:47] Union.
[00:08:51] I was horrified by the images of last week's funeral of
[00:08:54] Ratko Mladić in Belgrade.
[00:09:15] He committed the cruelest crimes against
[00:09:18] humanity,
[00:09:21] there is simply no place in the European Union for glorifying war criminals.
[00:09:35] All victims of the wars in the former Yugoslavia deserve to be remembered
[00:09:39] and all their families deserve
[00:09:42] our sympathy,
[00:09:46] because that is what we as a union stand for, for truth,
[00:09:50] justice, respect of
[00:09:52] our values.
[00:09:59] A lot was said, but little concrete, said
[00:10:02] foreign policy analyst Mirjana Rakić to our new
[00:10:06] day.
[00:10:08] She used "we need" a lot.
[00:10:12] "we will, but how, in what time, what are those
[00:10:16] deadlines, some new alliances are being formed, an alliance for
[00:10:20] electricity, an alliance for artificial
[00:10:23] intelligence, The most interesting to me seems to be this
[00:10:26] European security alliance where in a way
[00:10:30] a counterbalance to NATO is being
[00:10:32] created.
[00:10:41] German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled his trip to the UN General Assembly
[00:10:45] in New York. He remains in Berlin for key party
[00:10:48] meetings. The decision comes at a time of great pressure after the heavy
[00:10:52] defeat of the Conservatives in Saxony-Anhalt.
[00:10:55] New polls show that the right-wing Alternative for
[00:10:58] Germany is leading nationally with a
[00:11:01] record 30% support, while the CDU
[00:11:04] CSU bloc fell to 20%. The upcoming state elections in Berlin
[00:11:08] and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on September 20 will be a new
[00:11:12] test for Merz, while there is already speculation in the public about
[00:11:16] a possible change in government leadership. My
[00:11:19] current interest is in the substantive issues of how we can move forward.
[00:11:22] We are an elected government. We are elected for four years.
[00:11:25] I am elected for four years, and I want us to use these
[00:11:28] four years to lead the country out of this difficult phase.
[00:11:32] phase.
[00:11:41] The American war against Iran has so far cost $38 billion
[00:11:45] with estimates that monthly costs will increase by $3 billion,
[00:11:48] the Congressional Budget Office announced. The conflict has
[00:11:52] exhausted ammunition supplies and caused a rise in energy
[00:11:55] prices, which could increase inflation by
[00:11:58] 0.5% in the first three months of next year, while the White
[00:12:02] House and Pentagon claim that the military has enough resources for all
[00:12:05] objectives, the US House of Representatives has for the third time voted
[00:12:09] for a resolution to end the conflict. The decision comes before the midterm
[00:12:12] elections, and voters are not happy about the jump in fuel prices
[00:12:16] caused by the blockade of the Strait of
[00:12:18] Hormuz.
[00:12:26] Saudi Arabian air defense intercepted a Houthi drone near
[00:12:29] Mecca, which is the first attempted attack on this city since
[00:12:32] 2017. Due to security risks, the US Embassy
[00:12:36] warned its citizens to avoid the border area with
[00:12:39] Yemen, due to damage to the pipeline to the Red Sea in
[00:12:42] drone attacks, Saudi Arabia reduced oil supplies to
[00:12:46] Europe, which caused a jump in oil prices, so European companies
[00:12:50] are forced to look for alternative sources
[00:12:52] of supply. In
[00:12:58] The Yemeni armed forces will continue to protect the airspace of our
[00:13:01] country and preserve its sovereignty from any aggression or
[00:13:04] violation by all available means, and the sky of Yemen will not be
[00:13:08] violated, God
[00:13:09] willing.
[00:13:16] At least 20 Palestinians, including five children, were killed
[00:13:20] and 25 were injured in the collapse of a six-story building in
[00:13:23] Gaza City. The building was damaged in Israeli attacks
[00:13:26] and served as a shelter for more than 60 displaced people.
[00:13:30] Rescue teams are trying to reach those trapped
[00:13:33] under the rubble, but their work is hindered by the lack of heavy
[00:13:37] machinery. Authorities in Gaza state that about
[00:13:40] 8,500 people across the strip are still
[00:13:45] call on the international community for urgent intervention and an end to
[00:13:48] the blockade.
[00:13:59] to support uh to support these families uh
[00:14:01] situation as you see is tragic because we don't have the equipment and
[00:14:05] machinery that is needed so there are actually
[00:14:08] people that are digging uh with the bare
[00:14:11] ends we need to
[00:14:14] prepare uh there are approximately 400
[00:14:17] buildings at risk of collapse and we know that these
[00:14:20] buildings will collapse especially now with the upcoming
[00:14:24] winter. uh we need
[00:14:27] support uh most importantly with
[00:14:30] machinery, equipment, among others also
[00:14:33] to our colleagues here that don't have oil
[00:14:37] and spare parts uh to continue and to work with all the
[00:14:40] equipment that is still in Gaza, we are running
[00:14:44] against time, this is a tragedy within a larger
[00:14:48] tragedy, and it is important
[00:14:52] that we're all coming together as international community.
[00:15:04] That's all for this edition of Global, the latest world news is, as always, on
[00:15:08] our web portals and social networks. Goodbye until tomorrow.
[00:15:44] Let's take a closer look at some of the biggest stories in tech right now:
[00:15:47] could quantum computers break the internet as we know it? Meta's AI
[00:15:51] is checking your age, but at what cost? Nvidia wants your
[00:15:55] pc to think and act for you, and AI is even stepping
[00:15:58] into religion. Let's break it
[00:16:00] down.
[00:16:03] Does the internet have an expiration date? Google says by
[00:16:06] 2029, digital world could change completely, the
[00:16:10] reason q-day. That's what experts called the moment when quantum
[00:16:14] computers are able to crack the encryption that keeps the internet
[00:16:17] safe. Think of a mase for second. Normal computers try
[00:16:20] one path a time, while quantum computers explore all paths
[00:16:24] at once. That capability makes them very fast. In May, a
[00:16:28] Chinese quantum computer reportedly set a new speed record in a
[00:16:31] particular task. It completed an extremely complicated calculation
[00:16:35] in 25 microseconds. The world's... faster supercomputer would need a
[00:16:39] treated cillion years to solve the problem, that's a one with
[00:16:42] 42 zeros. please note, this benchmark was reached in a test
[00:16:46] setting and does not mean quantum computers can already crack today's
[00:16:49] encryptions, but it shows the technology is evolving a
[00:16:52] breath-taking pace. what does that mean for cyber security? who's at
[00:16:56] risk? if quantum computers were able to break current
[00:16:59] encryption, lot would be exposed. first, national
[00:17:02] security and infrastructure. Think of power grids, transport systems
[00:17:06] or military. communication: with a quantum computer, bad actors could
[00:17:10] in theory weaken a country's vital infrastructure. second, the
[00:17:13] global economy, banking and crypto heavily rely on
[00:17:16] encryption, a single hack could cost trillions of dollars, and
[00:17:20] finally, you, every private dm, bank password and
[00:17:23] medical record encrypted at the current standard would be vulnerable.
[00:17:27] sounds scary, but how real is this threat right now?
[00:17:31] Okay, let's not panic too much for now. cyber security companies
[00:17:35] love talking about Q day because fear helps them. new quantum safe
[00:17:38] encryption. Apart from that, Google has published a timeline for making its
[00:17:42] operating system Android quantum resistant, promoting themselves
[00:17:46] as a trustworthy player for the future, but the threat is
[00:17:49] real, and we have already reached the preliminary stage. Hackers are
[00:17:53] stealing encrypted data, even if they can't read it yet, they storing it,
[00:17:56] waiting for quantum machines to catch up. When that happens, old data could become
[00:18:00] readable overnight. The phenomenon is already so wide spread
[00:18:04] that there's a term for it, harvest now, decrypt later. or
[00:18:07] h&DL in short, so are we just doomed to face a digital
[00:18:11] apocalypse? not exactly, there's a global push to
[00:18:15] switch to PQC (post quantum cryptography). new encryption
[00:18:18] designed to resist quantum attacks. these are ultra complex mathematical
[00:18:22] riddles that even quantum computers can't easily untangle, and the push
[00:18:26] is not just coming from the private sector. governments are starting to set
[00:18:29] deadlines and restrict software that won't hold up in a quantum
[00:18:33] future.
[00:18:35] meta's AI might soon be..." analyzing your photos and videos to
[00:18:39] estimate your age. The new AI system looks at visual clues like bone
[00:18:43] structure to flag undererage users. The announcement comes after
[00:18:47] Mata was hit with a $375 million dollar
[00:18:49] fine in March for misleading people over child safety. The
[00:18:53] first rollout is coming to the US, Facebook only as well as
[00:18:57] Brazil and the EU. Meta claims this AI is more reliable
[00:19:00] than past age checks, which kids often hack with fake birthdays or
[00:19:04] even fake mustaches. Is matter's move a breakthrough for? child
[00:19:07] safety or a massive overreach in biometric
[00:19:10] surveillance. For years, tech giants have struggled to
[00:19:13] verify H without demanding a government issued ID. Meta
[00:19:17] Solution, its own AI powered age assurance, similar to
[00:19:20] systems already on the market. Meta says it has spent over decade
[00:19:24] building tools to protect teens, but regulators aren't convinced.
[00:19:28] In late April, the EU ruled that Mata failed to stop children under
[00:19:31] 13 from using its platforms. Data from Australia's new under
[00:19:35] 16 social media band shows. age verification systems don't
[00:19:39] work well and enforcing a ban is difficult. plus, meta's
[00:19:43] new measures have privacy advocates alarmed. even if
[00:19:46] it's only for age checks, scanning a chart's physical appearance
[00:19:49] raises big questions. where's this data stored? can it be hacked? apart from
[00:19:53] that, there's no information on how reliable the technology really
[00:19:57] is. meta insists, this isn't facial recognition
[00:20:00] and that individuals are not being identified. the AI scans your
[00:20:04] photos and videos for visual physical science of puberty. it compares your
[00:20:08] height to your surroundings, checks your shoulder width and facial bone
[00:20:12] structure that changes as you age, then it cross references this with
[00:20:15] data from your page. did you post about this suite 16? are your
[00:20:19] friends all eighth grade? If the system finds that things don't add up, your
[00:20:22] account is switch to teen mode, limited dms, restricted
[00:20:26] content, parental controls enabled. to unlock it, users
[00:20:29] must prove their age with an id or a video selfie to be verified
[00:20:33] by a third-party tech company. is there a better
[00:20:36] way? service: like Yoti or Verif estimate H from a
[00:20:40] selfie without identifying the person, they only pass on the result
[00:20:43] to the platform. Still, critics worry about data security and what
[00:20:47] third party providers might do with that data. then there's zero
[00:20:51] knowledge proofs or ZKPs. The EU is
[00:20:54] already betting big on this, they launch a specialized age
[00:20:57] verification blueprint in April 2026, as part of the
[00:21:01] new digital identity wallet rollout. ZKP's can confirm
[00:21:04] things like over 18 without sharing personal details, but they
[00:21:08] only work properly with a massive digital infrastructure that many EU
[00:21:12] countries are still building. Plus, you still need to trust a government issued
[00:21:15] app. There's also a bigger debate over who should be responsible for age
[00:21:19] verification. verification meta says app stores should handle it, so users only
[00:21:23] need to verify their age once. experts say age verification
[00:21:27] cannot fix the problem anyway, because the real issue is not who's on the
[00:21:30] app, but how the app is built. with algorithms designed to be
[00:21:34] addictive for adults too, and content that isn't safe for 14 year
[00:21:37] olds, age scanning AI cannot be the fix. and hate,
[00:21:41] extremism and other harmful content don't just affect kids. changing
[00:21:44] the platforms would be the better solution. what's your view on
[00:21:48] this?
[00:21:50] what if your next pc didn't just respond to inputs, but actually
[00:21:54] did your work for you. nvidia says pcs will no longer be a
[00:21:57] tool and instead start acting like assistant. the us tech
[00:22:01] giant unveiled new breed of AI computers powered by a chip called
[00:22:05] RTX spark. described as the most efficient pc chip ever
[00:22:08] built, it's designed to run AI agents locally, no cloud
[00:22:12] required. nvidia claims this tag will eventually replace the mouse and
[00:22:16] keyboard by letting ai agents navigate your pc for you, but
[00:22:20] what exactly is an AI agent and can Nvidia really reshape
[00:22:24] how we use computers? for the average user, Nvidia's new AI
[00:22:27] PCs are promising to make life much easier. you just tell the
[00:22:31] computer what it should do, for example, find the cheapest
[00:22:34] flight, book it and put the details in my calendar. an AI agent then
[00:22:38] does this by navigating the computer its own, no more manually jumping
[00:22:42] between tabs, copying data and clicking through menus. in theory,
[00:22:45] agents can handle everything you're doing on your computer, even editing
[00:22:49] files, software. we recently tested an ar agent called open
[00:22:53] claw. we connected it to a telegram chat and sent it a voice message.
[00:22:57] the agent said it couldn't process audio, so we simply told it
[00:23:00] to fix that. it searched the web, installed new software and taught
[00:23:04] itself how to transcribe audio. nvidia bats it, this kind
[00:23:07] of automation will be the new normal for personal computers.
[00:23:11] to make this happen, the tech giant is moving into the cpu market and
[00:23:15] is partnering with major brands to challenge intel and AMD.
[00:23:19] for decades, windows C's relied on separate CPUs and
[00:23:22] GPUs. Nvidia's Rtx Park combines both into a single
[00:23:25] chip, promising faster performance because data does not need to be sent back and
[00:23:29] forth between CPU and GPU, and RTX Park
[00:23:33] is optimized for the whole NVIDIA ecosystem, which already sits at
[00:23:37] the center of the global AI industry. With that power, Nvidia
[00:23:40] wants to move AI workloads off the cloud and onto your computer. That
[00:23:44] would mean faster response times, better privacy and independence
[00:23:48] from internet connectivity, but It doesn't come cheap, experts estimate
[00:23:52] the price for an AIPC at this level to be around
[00:23:54] $4,500 US and autonomous agents brings serious
[00:23:58] vulnerabilities. AI agents act on their own and sometimes
[00:24:02] make mistakes, and because they have access to files, accounts and
[00:24:06] applications, those mistakes can become serious. In a recent
[00:24:09] case, an AI agent reportedly began deleting emails after losing
[00:24:13] track of key instructions. It only stopped when the user manually
[00:24:17] intervened. There are also prompt injections and systems
[00:24:20] can't reliably distinguish between helpful commands and harmful
[00:24:24] content. hackers can conceal hidden instructions for your AI agent
[00:24:27] in an email or a website. some predictions say over
[00:24:31] 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by
[00:24:34] 2027 due to increasing costs or security risks.
[00:24:37] nvidia says it's working with Microsoft to deeply embed AI
[00:24:41] controls into Windows software. the operating system monitors what
[00:24:44] agents do, flex risky actions and asks for your approval for critical
[00:24:48] steps. but do we actually want AI to act on our behalf or are
[00:24:52] we giving away too much control? let us know what you think in the
[00:24:55] comments.
[00:24:57] can AI bring you closer to your god? AI jesus and the buddhist
[00:25:01] AI monk went viral and then in May the pope waid in on
[00:25:05] the rice of AI in the world. popelio the 14th released
[00:25:08] magnifica humanitas, his very first official paper and
[00:25:11] cyclical. the text focuses on how to protect humanity in the age
[00:25:15] of AI. that's a big
[00:25:18] the highest forms of in the Catholic Church, but the story goes
[00:25:22] beyond the Vatican: religion is more and more confronted by AI and faith
[00:25:26] leaders are debating how to respond. communities around the world are trying to
[00:25:30] figure out what happens when AI takes over matters of faith. let's break it down.
[00:25:34] what does the pope actually say? in magnifica
[00:25:37] humanitas, pope Leo wants about AI's risks. some of these
[00:25:40] concerns might sound familiar: people losing jobs to automation,
[00:25:44] AI powered weapons, kids being exposed to dangerous or
[00:25:47] manipulative AI content. the pope stresses one central idea
[00:25:50] humans must stay in control of AI and here's something
[00:25:54] interesting: big teg was part of this conversation andthroppy co-founder
[00:25:58] Christopher spoke at the post presentation of the text. it's obvious:
[00:26:02] tech companies no religion still has huge influence on society and
[00:26:06] faith leaders no AI is already changing how people think, learn and
[00:26:10] even worship. so what does that actually look like in real
[00:26:13] life? for Christians, there's an AI version of Jesus, a startup
[00:26:17] in the United States office paid video calls with AI Jesus trained on
[00:26:21] the Bible and religious sermons. in Japan, there's an AI robot mon called
[00:26:25] Buddharoid, it's trained on Buddhist scriptures and can answer questions inside
[00:26:28] the temple in Kyoto. In Latin America, some church organization
[00:26:32] are openly encouraging the use of AI for education, sermons
[00:26:36] and community work, and in India and Pakistan, religious
[00:26:39] organizations are using AI chat assistance to reach younger
[00:26:42] audiences online. This is becoming a global trend. Analys say
[00:26:46] AI based spiritual and worldness apps are now a multi-billion dollar
[00:26:50] industry. In Muslim communities, the debate is especially sensitive.
[00:26:53] Some scholars question whether AI can give religious guidance at all,
[00:26:57] raising concerns about authority, and even whether certain forms of AI
[00:27:01] might be religiously. missible and that's just one of many problems.
[00:27:05] AI can sound very convincing, even when it's
[00:27:08] wrong. so what happens if someone asks in AI for religious
[00:27:11] advice and gets misleading or harmful guidance, who's
[00:27:14] responsible? there's also the issue of commercialization.
[00:27:18] spiritual guidance that was once free or community-based can suddenly come with
[00:27:22] a price tag like paying for access to an AI Jesus. for some critics
[00:27:26] that echos all debates about the commercialization of faith, and then
[00:27:29] there's bias. AI models learn from existing... human data, which
[00:27:33] means they can inherit sexism, ethnic bias, case
[00:27:36] discrimination or extremist interpretations, and sometimes the
[00:27:40] AI presents those ideas like they're the objective truth. so what does
[00:27:44] the pope suggest? the pope says we need safeguards,
[00:27:47] things like protecting workers displaced by AI, keeping humans
[00:27:51] in charge of critical decisions, teaching students how to use AI
[00:27:55] responsibly and making sure governments actually regulate this
[00:27:58] technology, not just leaving AI companies to regulate themselves. That's
[00:28:02] it for me today, bye-bye and see you next time.
