BARI, Italy — President Joe Biden is expected to meet with Pope Francis privately Friday on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy, according to a senior administration official. The pontiff will become the first pope ever to attend G7 discussions and is choosing to focus his attention on artificial intelligence, both its technological advantages and potential dangers.
Later, during some crosstalk, Biden joked: “He’s my ticket.” As the group laughed, he replied: “That was a joke.” In Puglia, the pope is expected to have one-on-one meetings with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, France’s Emmanuel Macron, India’s Narendra Modi, Brazil’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Kenya’s William Ruto and Algeria’s Abdelmadjid Tebboune, according to the Vatican.
