The PM of Italy, Meloni, invited the pope to address the G7 leaders on the issue of AI. I <a href=\"https:\/\/theoreti.ca\/?p=8477\">blogged about this here<\/a>. It is worth pointing out that this is not the first time the Vatican has intervened on the issue of AI ethics. Here is a short timeline:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2020 a bunch of Catholic organizations and industry heavyweights sign the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romecall.org\/\">Rome Call (Call for AI Ethics)<\/a>. The Archbishop of Canterbury just signed.<\/li>\n<li>In 2021 they create the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romecall.org\/\">RenAIssance Foundation<\/a> building on the Rome Call. It&#8217;s scientific director is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paolobenanti.com\/\">Paolo Benati<\/a>, a charismatic Franciscan monk, professor, and writer on religion and technology. He is apparently advising both Meloni and the pope and he coined the term \u201calgo-ethics&#8221;. Most of his publications are in Italian, but there is an interview in English. He is also apparently on the OECD\u2019s expert panel now.<\/li>\n<li>2022 Benati publishes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mondadorieducation.it\/catalogo\/human-in-the-loop-0069792\/\">Human in the Loop: Decisioni umane e intelligenze artificiali<\/a> (Human in the Loop: Human Decisions and Artificial Intelligences) which is about the importance of ethics to AI and the human in ethics.<\/li>\n<li>2024 Meloni invites the Pope to address the G7 leaders gathered in Italy on AI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Francis is leaning on thinking of Paolo Benanti, a friar adept at explaining how technology can change world The Guardian has some good analysis on Why the pope has the ears of G7 leaders on the ethics of AI | Artificial intelligence (AI).
