Shafaqna English-The development of artificial intelligence must serve human dignity and strengthen peace, Pope Leo XIV said to participants in the first edition of AI4Peace.
Pope Leo situates the discussion on artificial intelligence within a world experiencing conflict and division. In such a context, he says, technological development requires not only technical expertise but also a vision “inspired by wisdom and charity”.
The aim, he stresses, should be to ensure that technological progress “may serve the dignity of every person and strengthen the bonds that unite the human family.”
Pope Leo encourages the participants to examine ways in which artificial intelligence can contribute to peace when its development and use are guided by concern for the good of others.
He invites them in particular to explore how AI can “foster dialogue, reconciliation and solidarity among peoples”, helping to transform the fruits of technological innovation into “instruments of peace”.
The meeting brings together experts and researchers to examine the role of artificial intelligence in relation to peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution, human rights and governance.
