Artificial intelligence shows no signs of slowing down, and neither do the warnings about the threat it poses to the future of humanity. Within days of his election, Pope Leo XIV acknowledged AI’s “immense potential” for the good of humanity, but also pointed to “new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice, and labor.” Citing the ramp-up in AI development as the next “great industrial revolution,” the new Pope suggested working-class people are at particular risk of AI disruption. He even chose the name “Leo” in honor of Leo XIII, who served during the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 19th century. Evangelical Christian leaders recently echoed the Pope’s sentiments, sending an open letter to U.S. President Donald Trump as an appeal for “wise leadership.” Church by church, people of faith are making their feelings about AI crystal clear.

President Trump’s commitment to ensuring the United States remains dominant in artificial intelligence innovation is critical to maintaining our country’s status as the superpower on the global stage. AI is not just a technological frontier; it will also rebuild the foundation of our economy, security and national strength. Still, leadership in AI requires more than ambition; it demands vigilance. Without strong safeguards, the technology that could elevate America will become a weapon in the wrong hands, threatening our nation and the world. As we stand on the cusp of advanced AI, America must prioritize security to protect our people and our values.

Mark Beal of the AI Policy Network is sounding the alarm: Concrete policy proposals are desperately needed to manage the rapidly advancing capabilities of artificial intelligence. He stresses that the potential for superhuman AI demands immediate attention from policymakers.

Mark Beall appeared on “Stacy on the Right” to discuss AI and American leadership. He talked about the importance of safeguards to ensure that AI goes well.

The AI race is no longer theoretical—it's about who sets the rules of the future global order. Is America really ahead? Or is China catching up faster than we think? Mark Beall from the AI Policy Institute, a former Pentagon AI policy director, joins Fox News to discuss the stakes of the U.S.-China AI competition. From OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s Senate testimony to warnings about regulatory overreach, this conversation breaks down what’s really at risk: leadership in global technology, economic dominance, and even national security.

Highlighting concerns over China's ambition to dominate the world stage by 2049, a strategist urges the US to forge a strong alliance with India to counter China's cyber activities, fentanyl trade, espionage via TikTok, and potential control over Taiwan's crucial semiconductor industry.
