Pope Francis participated in the G7 summit alongside world leaders Biden, Zelenskiy, Macron, and Modi in what promises to be a pivotal meeting on global issues.
Pope Francis took charge of discussions on the implications of artificial intelligence for global ethics and governance, Reuters reports.
The pope said AI represented an “epochal transformation” for mankind, but stressed the need for close oversight of the ever-developing technology to preserve human life and dignity.
“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.
“We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people’s ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines,” he warned.
