Pope Francis expressed his concerns over Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what it is capable of.
On Tuesday, the Vatican released a message on behalf of Francis, 86, about the technology ahead of World Day of Peace set to take place on New Year’s Day. The message’s theme for the “Catholic feast day dedicated to universal peace on the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God” is “Artificial Intelligence and Peace.”
“The remarkable advances made in the field of Artificial Intelligence are having a rapidly increasing impact on human activity, personal and social life, politics and the economy,” the statement noted.
The statement informed about Francis’ call to seek an “open dialogue” about “the meaning of these new technologies, endowed with disruptive possibilities and ambivalent effects.”
“He recalls the need to be vigilant and to work so that a logic of violence and discrimination does not take root in the production and use of such devices, at the expense of the most fragile and excluded: injustice and inequalities fuel conflicts and antagonisms,” the statement continued.
