Even the Pope, Sam Altman, and Jensen Huang Have Changed Their Tune: "AI Fear Has Been Overstated"

Pope Leo XIV urged tighter AI regulation and stronger protection for people as the technology spreads.

Jensen Huang cautioned against hasty layoffs and major-mistakes fears over AI, while Sam Altman said his earlier white-collar job loss predictions were wrong.

An Uber executive also questioned judging AI success by token usage alone.

Overall, the debate is shifting from hype and panic toward more practical concerns about jobs, oversight, and human-centered AI.
