The Holy See’s Department for the Promotion of Integral Human Development announced the theme of Pope Francis’ message for the 57th World Day of Peace next year: “Artificial Intelligence and Peace”. “Pope Francis urges an open dialogue on the meaning of these new technologies with disruptive potential and double effects,” the ministry said in a statement.
(Vatican News Network) Advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have “increasingly far-reaching implications for human activity, personal and social life, politics and the economy”, so the theme chosen by Pope Francis for the message of the World Day of Peace on New Year’s Day 2024 next year is just right. “Artificial Intelligence and Peace”. The Holy See Congregation for the Promotion of Integral Human Development announced the theme on August 8.
“Pope Francis urges an open dialogue on the meaning of these new technologies, with their disruptive potential and double effects,” the Holy See ministry said in a statement issued on the same day, noting that “vigilance is needed and that the production of these devices and its use, without taking root a logic of violence and discrimination at the expense of the most vulnerable and excluded, that is, of injustice and inequality that fuel conflict and confrontation”.
The imperative, therefore, is to “direct the concept and use of artificial intelligence in a responsible manner in the service of humanity and the protection of our common home”, while this ethical reflection needs to be “extended to the educational and legal spheres”. In fact, “the protection of human dignity and the appreciation of a brotherhood that is truly open to the entire human family are indispensable conditions so that technological development can contribute to the promotion of justice and peace in the world”.
The World Peace Day was established by Pope Paul VI in 1967, and the 57th will be held in 2024. Last year’s theme was set against the backdrop of the post-COVID-19 world and discussed “No One Can Be Saved Alone”. Past themes have included intergenerational dialogue, a culture of caring, good politics and non-violence, and a focus on immigrants and refugees.
