The meeting is organized in collaboration with the Holy See Mission at the UN and NetOne.
In recent years, digital progress has brought significant opportunities and challenges, with serious implications in all spheres of society. In this era of rapid technological change, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most powerful tools with the potential to transform societies, advance peace, and achieve sustainable development. However, its ethical implications remain subjects of intense debate.
Pope Francis has expressed his views on the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence on several occasions, in particular during His message for the 57th World Day of Peace on January 1, 2024. Pope Francis emphasized that AI should be conceived, designed, developed, deployed, and used ethically and responsibly to promote human dignity and the common good.
This event aims to foster a comprehensive dialogue on these critical issues at the intersection of technical, ethical, political, legal, and economic considerations, with the goal of directing techno-scientific research towards the pursuit of peace and the common good, in the service of the integral development of individuals and communities. What will be the consequences, in the medium and longer term, of these new digital technologies? What impact will they have on individual lives and on societies, on international stability and peace, and on integral human development?
In summary:
Event: “AI: A Pathway To Global Peace And Integral Human Development”
Date: 21 February 2024
Time: 18.15-19.30 GMT
