Despite the lack of regulation in the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV is increasingly advocating ethical AI oversight of governments and companies, which is only one month for his Pope.
Pope, who Electioned in May Following Pope Francis’ death, a message was sent to Silicon Valley executives and Vatican officials on Tuesday and was held at the second annual meeting on AI, ethics and corporate governance at the Vatican city’s religious palace on Friday.
In his message, publishing Leo says AI technology is a great tool, but can also be abused and hurt, especially for children with developmental vulnerability and young people. He added that AI must consider human uniqueness in order to function morally.
“AI, especially generative AI, has opened up new horizons on many different levels, including research that enhances healthcare and scientific discoveries, but has also raised disturbing questions about the impact on human openness to truth and beauty, our unique ability to master and deal with reality,” he said.
Although the Vatican does not have clear regulation, Daniel Robert, a professor of Sacred Heart Catholic Studies, said the Holy See often lobbies foreign governments for raising their agenda.
By making moral AI adjustment The priority is that Leo also sends messages to individual Catholics and Catholic business leaders to take the idea seriously.
“Recognition and respect for the unique characteristics of human beings is crucial to discuss any appropriate moral framework for AI governance,” Leo said in the message.
Leo made moral AI a priority for his pope, which was mentioned only two days after he became the Pope’s empress at the Cardinal College. He is based on the legacy of Pope Francis, who set up a meeting at the Pontiff at this week’s AI conference in the Vatican.
Leo also follows in the footsteps of his eponymous Leo XIII, who advocated better working conditions during the rapid industrialization periods of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Rob told Rob, who told Rob, who told Rob, told Rob, “He used the name as an example because he wanted to be a person who was commenting on the way technology (AI and other things) was changing society and wanted the church to be the voice that advocates human and human interests in this situation.” wealth.
According to Robert, while Leo advocates moral AI (and may be ready to write a future “encyclopedia” (or formal letters to all Catholic bishops)), the debate on the subject is about a debate about the anger of AI on a global scale.
In the United States, the lack of federal AI regulations opens the door to state laws regarding AI, including intellectual property and AI transparency. Nevertheless, the budget bill passed by the Trump administration in May includes Ten years of suspension Regarding the enforcement of state and local AI regulations, it is pieced together to threaten the laws passed on now.
