In a momentous message from the Roman Catholic Church’s World Day of Peace, Pope Francis, who leads 1.36 billion people’s faith steps into the forefront of the AI debate. His call for a binding international treaty to regulate artificial intelligence reflects a global recognition of the need to balance technological progress with ethical considerations.
A call for Artificial Intelligence and Peace:
As the EU recently reached a provisional deal on landmark AI rules, Pope Francis’s message, titled “Artificial Intelligence and Peace,” urges nations to collaboratively adopt regulations. In a world increasingly reliant on AI, the pope emphasizes the potential threat of a “technological dictatorship” and calls for human values to guide the development and use of AI.
Key Quotes from Pope Francis:
1. “The global scale of artificial intelligence makes it clear that international organizations can play a decisive role in reaching multilateral agreements.”
2. “I urge the global community of nations to work together to adopt a binding international treaty that regulates the development and use of artificial intelligence.”
Perspective and Insight:
Addressing concerns about military applications, Pope Francis, as the spiritual guide, emphasizes the need for meaningful human oversight. His call resonates beyond the church, cautioning against an “obsessive desire to control everything.” It’s not a rejection of progress but a cautious approach to what he deems “perhaps the highest-stake gamble of our future.”
Navigating the Unknown around AI:
With the launch of EU AI rules, Google’s new AI model, and those of the United States the conversation around AI’s impact is at the forefront. Pope Francis’s stance underscores the global need to navigate the unknown factors and manage potential fears associated with AI.
