As a journalist, I am thrilled to share that Pope Francis will be attending the G7 session focused on artificial intelligence. This was announced by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a video detailing the topics to be covered during Italy’s presidency of the G7.
Meloni expressed her gratitude to the Holy Father for accepting their invitation and emphasized how honored they were to have him join them. She highlighted that this was a historic moment as it marks the first time a pope has been involved in discussions about AI development within the Group of 7. Pope Francis will be participating in an ‘outreach’ session, which is open to both members and invited countries.
Meloni believes that Pope Francis’ involvement will greatly contribute to establishing ethical and regulatory frameworks in the field of AI. She expressed her conviction that his presence would enhance cultural perspectives on AI development, making it an even more significant event. This collaboration between Pope Francis and the G7 is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of AI development.
