What the Pope thinks about Artificial Intelligence

from As It Happens

In a papal first, Pope Leo formally presents his view on artificial intelligence -- and the man behind a Catholic AI tool tells us he's listening. At this point, the cases of Ebola are outpacing efforts to contain it -- but an aid worker in Congo tells us he's determined to help close the gap.A giant overheating chemical tank in southern California is no longer at risk of exploding, but the crisis isn't over. We'll reach a resident who is housing twenty of her evacuated relatives. We remember one of the earliest pioneers of climate activism -- a lobbyist who read a report on the catastrophic effects of burning coal in 1979, and spent the rest of his life pushing for change. The NHL says a Canadiens watch party in Gatineau, Quebec is a no go -- but the party organizer tells us he's holding out hope the league will reverse that call. Someone in Kansas bought themselves a brand-new pick-up, but they can't drive it off the lot yet -- because a family of protected robins is living on top of one of the tires.As It Happens, the Monday Edition. Radio that cautions against putting all your eggs near one gasket.
