Even the Pope has something to say about artificial intelligence
The explosion of artificial intelligence this year hasn’t escaped the Vatican, with Pope Francis warning of its dangers in a hefty 3,400-word letter ahead of the World Day of Peace on Jan. 1.
Over the past year, there’s been no shortage of scientists, tech CEOs, billionaires and lawmakers sounding the alarm over artificial intelligence — and now, even the Pope wants to talk about it too.
In a hefty 3,412-word letter dated Dec. 8, Pope Francis — the head of the Catholic Church — warned of the potential dangers of AI to humanity and what needs to be done to control it. The letter came as the Roman Catholic Church prepares to celebrate World Day of Peace on Jan. 1, 2024.
Pope Francis wants to see an international treaty to regulate AI to ensure it is developed and used ethically — otherwise, we risk falling into the spiral of a “technological dictatorship.”
