- Vatican officials on Friday planned to release principles promoting the ethical use of artificial intelligence , with the backing of Microsoft Corp and International Business Machines Corp as the first two technology industry sponsors.
The document reflects growing interest among companies and institutions to set guardrails for the fast-evolving technology. Police have used facial recognition systems to investigate crimes, and Fortune 500 companies have used AI to vet job applicants - both examples of high-stakes tasks where deploying inaccurate or biased software could lead to harm.
Pope Francis was due to receive the document Friday to conclude a conference that the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life hosted this week on AI ethics. Others participating included the European Parliament’s President David Sassoli and Microsoft’s President Brad Smith.
