The Pope Video - November 2020 - Artificial Intelligence

Source: The Pope Video

Do you know how much artificial intelligence is going to change your life? A lot? No. Much more than you can imagine, although it also depends on where you live. Driverless cars, robots in your home, drones delivering packages along the streets… All of this is already part of our world. It's the present, not the future. The limits of artificial intelligence and robotics are difficult to imagine. Consequently, we need to be aware of the dangers that progress in these areas can bring: unequal opportunities, discrimination, etc.

May the desire that Pope Francis expresses in his encyclical Fratelli tutti be fulfilled: "How wonderful it would be if the growth of scientific and technological innovation could come with more equality and social inclusion!" If you share this dream, share this video too. #ArtificialIntelligence

In this video, Pope Francis says: "Artificial intelligence is at the heart of the epochal change we are experiencing. Robotics can make a better world possible if it is joined to the common good. Indeed, if technological progress increases inequalities, it is not true progress. Future advances should be oriented towards respecting the dignity of the person and of Creation. Let us pray that the progress of robotics and artificial intelligence may always serve humankind … we could say, may it 'be human.'"
