Pope Francis warns that AI should never get the upper hand
Pope Francis and leaders take part in a working session on artificial intelligence during the G7 Summit. He said there is a need for close oversight of the ever-developing technology. Pope Francis became the first pontiff to address a Group of Seven summit on Friday, warning world leaders that artificial intelligence must never be allowed to get the upper hand over humanity.
"No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being," he said, adding that people should not let superpowerful algorithms decide their destiny. On entering the conference room ahead of his speech, Francis was warmly enveloped by a fellow Argentine, President Javier Milei, received a hug from Jordan's King Abdullah, a kiss from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and had a long, whispered conversation with US President Joe Biden.
"It is up to everyone to make good use of , but the onus is on politics to create the conditions for such good use to be possible and fruitful," he added.Earlier this year, Italy approved a bill aimed at laying ground rules for the use of AI, setting sanctions for AI-related crimes, and Meloni has repeatedly warned of the risks AI poses to the jobs market.
