OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney told Pope Leo XIV Canada wants to lead internationally on responsible AI.

The PMO says they spoke about how AI must serve humanity, starting with protecting individuals.

The discussion came days after the Pope issued a document calling for robust regulation of artificial intelligence.
