Pope Francis sent a special message to the 2025 World Economic Forum, held in Davos from January 20 to 24 under the theme "Collaboration for the Intelligent Age", sharing his reflections on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for fostering unity among peoples, Vatican News reports.
In his message, Pope Francis calls for the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence, which must help human beings for the good of all, and never violate human dignity for the sake of efficiency.
Pope Francis noted that while AI can produce results comparable to those of human effort, its use must be carefully evaluated in terms of moral responsibility, safety, and its implications for the common good. He expressed concern that an excessive focus on efficiency might overshadow human dignity and fraternity, exacerbating social inequality and conflicts. The Pontiff also highlighted the need to apply AI in alignment with humanity’s vocation to build a just and humane society.
“Individual users, families, civil society, corporations, institutions, governments, and international organizations must work at their proper levels to ensure that AI is directed to the good of all,” the Pope said.
Pope Francis concluded by offering his prayerful good wishes for the deliberations of the Forum and invoking divine blessings upon all its participants.
As previously reported by the UOJ, the head of OpenAI stated that artificial intelligence will soon become self-learning and capable of solving problems at a human cognitive level.
