G7 confronts China on commerce, Pope talks about AI

The G7 also warns of action against Chinese financial institutions that helped Russia obtain weapons for its war against Ukraine



BORGO EGNAZIA, Italy – Pope Francis made an historic appearance at the Group of Seven summit on Friday, June 14, to speak about the pros and cons of artificial intelligence, while G7 leaders also pledged to tackle what they said were harmful business practices by China.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the summit host, invited the pope and other heads of state and government, including the prime minister of India and the king of Jordan, in an effort to show the G7 was not an aloof, exclusive club.
“We will never accept the narrative that wants the ‘West against the rest’,” Meloni told the meeting on Friday.
The pope, arriving in a wheelchair and warmly greeted by leaders including US President Joe Biden and a fellow Argentine, President Javier Milei, acknowledged the ambivalence surrounding AI, saying it could inspire excitement and broaden access to knowledge.
