In July of this year, The Vatican formed an Artificial Intelligence Round Table with the mission of exploring “how artificial intelligence can be developed and deployed to serve inclusive, just, and human-centered systems.”
The group included IASEAI leaders
@Yoshua_Bengio, Stuart Russell, and
@tegmark, as well as other leading experts such as Geoffrey Hinton,
@Abebab,
@harari_yuval , and Jimena Viveros.
In-person meetings took place in Rome on September 12 and 13, finalizing the draft of a powerful appeal on the global governance of artificial intelligence. The final version, titled "Fraternity in the Age of AI," was read out on September 14 at the Human Constitutional Assembly in Rome by the group’s Vatican liaison, Fr.
@paolobenanti, and signed by additional participants including musician and AI entrepreneur
@iamwill and Nobel laureates
@mariaressa (IASEAI Advisory Board) and Giorgio Parisi.
The global collaboration behind this appeal shows what’s possible when we unite around our shared humanity in planning for our future. "Fraternity in the Age of AI" transcends the external mechanics of regulation and policy to address the more fundamental question of what it means to remain human among intelligent machines – IASEAI was founded to foster exactly these kinds of conversations and connections, ensuring AI development serves our deepest human values.
