One of the biggest AI moments this year involved a deepfake image of the Pope in a big coat. Now the Vatican has released a statement where Pope Francis warns against AI's dangers. The Pope said AI could lead to discrimination, but there should be an open dialogue to ensure it benefits humanity. Pope Francis was at the center of one of this year's most viral AI controversies, and now he's warned against the dangers of the budding technology. Instead, the Pope said AI should be "at the service of humanity and the protection of our common home."
