Pope Francis Urges Binding Treaty To Regulate AI

Annual message from pope to global leaders calls for legally binding international treaty to regulate artificial intelligence.
Pope Francis has directly intervened in the discussion about regulating artificial intelligence, with a salient warning about the technology.
In his annual message for the Roman Catholic Church's World Day of Peace, Pope Francis called for a legally binding international treaty to regulate artificial intelligence and warned of its dangers.
The Pope's annual message is traditionally sent to world leaders and heads of institutions such as the United Nations.
Pope Francis also issued warnings against the use of AI in weapons systems and its impact on the education sector.
It is fair to say that the regulation and safety of artificial intelligence is already being considered around the world.
The UK government hosted the first ever AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in early November, attended by leading nations, AI experts and business leaders including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak US Vice-President Kamala Harris, European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni, China's tech vice minister Wu Zhaohui, and United Nations' Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Tech figures such as Meta's president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman, and Tesla's CEO Elon Musk, were also present.
The AI Safety Summit resulted in the first international declaration on AI, called the 'Bletchley Declaration', which agreed about the potential risks posed by the artificial intelligence.
The Bletchley Declaration saw countries such as UK, US, EU, Australia, and China all agree that artificial intelligence poses a potentially catastrophic risk to humanity.
More recently the European Union last week reached a provisional deal on landmark rules governing the use of AI, including governments' use of AI in biometric surveillance and how to regulate AI systems such as ChatGPT. Advertising.
