Why Pope Francis thinks the Church should play a part inxa0world leaders'xa0debate on AI

An image of a prominent figure caused a stir last year when it turned out to be a “deep fake” generated by artificial intelligence. This week, the individual is set to make a notable appearance at the G7 summit to address the topic of AI. The person involved is the first pope to participate in this gathering, where leaders from advanced economies will discuss AI. The pope aims to advocate for the responsible and ethical development of AI, emphasizing the potential risks it poses such as technological dictatorship and inequalities. The Vatican has been actively promoting an ethical framework for AI, garnering support from big tech companies, governments, and religious leaders. The pope will urge world leaders at the summit to collaborate on AI regulation and establish an international treaty to prevent harmful practices. The pope’s interest in AI stems from his concern for social aspects, including inequality and the distribution of fake news. By engaging in these discussions, the pope hopes to guide the development of AI to benefit all of humanity.
