AI Verified Verified: the official Vatican transcript of Pope Francis’s G7 address dated June 14, 2024 contains the exact sentence, “No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being,” in a passage about banning lethal autonomous weapons and ensuring human control, so the quote is verbatim and correctly attributed to Pope Francis.
