The Vatican announced Tuesday that Pope Francis’ annual peace message for 2024 will focus on artificial intelligence (AI).
A statement from the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development on Aug. 8 described an “urgent need” to guide the development and use of artificial intelligence in a responsible way, requiring that “ethical reflection be extended to the sphere of education and law.”
“Pope Francis calls for an open dialogue on the meaning of these new technologies, endowed with disruptive possibilities and ambivalent effects,” it said.
The Vatican office noted that artificial intelligence technologies are having “a rapidly increasing impact on human activity, personal and social life, politics and the economy” and called for vigilance to ensure that technological development contributes to “the promotion of justice and peace in the world.”
Years before the widely-popular release of the GPT-4 chatbot system, developed by the San Francisco start-up OpenAI, the Vatican was already heavily involved in the conversation of artificial intelligence ethics, hosting high-level discussions with scientists and tech executives on the ethics of artificial intelligence in 2016 and 2020.

The Pope is evil, not representative of past Popes.

You know how politics, medicine, journalism and education has been infiltrated by marxists, socialists and all manner of evil-doers?
Christianity and Judaism has been infiltrated as well.
That is where the evil has come from.
Destroy from within!!!!!
The Church is not evil.
Evil has been allowed to run rampant and take over in some cases.
The evil has risen up the chain of command in these institutions.
The evil has a goal to cause the decay of morals and society.
They sit on billions worth in wealth, while preaching 'spread your wealth' to us 99%ers

The question is; does anyone who will be using A.I. actually care about the Vatican's opinion. I wonder how much of the younger generations actually value the word of the Church.
What purpose does the Vatican serve anyway? The church of catholicism protected pedophiles. I'd think their "word" is pretty much useless now.
