Pope at G7 calls for ban on 'lethal autonomous weapons'

Pope Francis called Friday for a ban on "lethal autonomous weapons," as he addressed the G7 leaders' summit in Italy on the perils of artificial intelligence.

"In light of the tragedy that is armed conflict, it is urgent to reconsider the development and use of devices like the so-called 'lethal autonomous weapons' and ultimately ban their use," the pope said.
