Pope Francis on Friday warned of the potential dangers from
artificial intelligence (AI), Azernews
reports.
Addressing a session dedicated to AI, Pope Francis underlined
that AI signifies“a true cognitive-industrial revolution” which
will lead to“complex epochal transformations.”
Acknowledging that the transformations have the potential to be
beneficial by democratizing the access to knowledge, advancing the
scientific research, and reducing the demanding and arduous work,
Francis also pointed out the possible negative consequences such as
causing the greater injustice between advanced and developing
nations or between dominant and oppressed social classes.
The pope also underlined that the algorithms used by artificial
intelligence to arrive at choices are“neither objective nor
neutral.”
“Algorithms can only examine realities formalized in numerical
terms,” Francis said.
Furthermore, he emphasised that AI is always shaped by the
worldview of those who invented and developed it.
“Against this background, what is needed is the development of
an algor-ethics, a series of global and pluralistic principles
which are capable of finding support from cultures, religions,
international organizations and major corporations,” the pope
remarked.
