According to Cointelegraph, there has been no shortage of scientists, tech CEOs, billionaires and lawmakers sounding the alarm over artificial intelligence. It is expected that now Pope wants to talk about it too.
“The inherent dignity of each human […] must undergird the development of new technologies and serve as indisputable criteria for evaluating them […] so that digital progress can occur with due respect for justice and contribute to the cause of peace, Pope explained.
Sources revealed that on December 8, 2023, Pope Francis, head, Catholic Church, warned of the potential dangers of AI to humanity and what needs to be done to control it. The letter is expected to come as the Roman Catholic Church prepares to celebrate World Day of Peace on January 1, 2024.
The threat of AI is expected to take place when developers have a “desire for profit or thirst for power” that overpowers one’s wish to exist freely and peacefully, Cointelegraph concluded.
