Pope Francis urges caution in the development of AI, expressing concerns about its potential to reinforce a 'logic of violence'.
Pope Francis issued a warning onTuesday, urging those behind the technology to"be vigilant" during their work.
The Pope made the statement in his message marking New Year's Day, which the Vatican traditionally releases far in advance. Francis, 86, has joked in the past that he is far from technologically savvy, but said Tuesday that AI must be used in a"responsible way." "Pope Francis calls for an open dialogue on 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," the message read.
"The urgent need to orient the concept and use of artificial intelligence in a responsible way, so that it may be at the service of humanity and the protection of our common home, requires that ethical reflection be extended to the sphere of education and law," the statement said. Pope Francis issued a warning on artificial intelligence Tuesday, urging those behind the technology to"be vigilant" during their work.He said this weekend that his recovery from his latest abdominal surgery is going well. Some observers were concerned that he had ditched planned speeches during a recent trip to Portugal, but he stressed that he spoke off-the-cuff not because he was tired or feeling unwell, but to better communicate with young people.
