He has appointed French Bishop Thibault Verny to head the child protection advisory board, replacing retiring Cardinal Sean O'Malley, and has signaled a commitment to creating a culture of prevention with no tolerance for abuse. However, he must navigate complex cases like that of Rev. Marko Rupnik, who was accused of abusing adult women and nuns, and Cardinal Angelo Becciu's trial on financial crimes related to the Vatican's London property investment. Pope Leo also plans to address unity and reconciliation in the church, including the issue of the Latin Mass, which has been a point of contention among conservatives and traditionalists. He has expressed interest in artificial intelligence and travel priorities, including a visit to Turkey to mark the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicea, and has received invitations from various countries, including the US and Ukraine.

The move aims to prevent China, which has been banned from buying US-made AI processors, from obtaining these components through intermediaries in the two South-east Asian nations. The regulation would pair controls on Malaysia and Thailand with a formal rescission of global curbs on AI diffusion, which drew objections from US allies and tech companies during President Joe Biden's term.
