Pope Francis in “Artificial Intelligence and Sexual Abuse: A New Challenge for Prevention,” in a message to participants at the Fourth Latin American Conference hosted by the Commission on the Protection of Minors on the subject of Lima I emphasized this. , Peru, February 25th to 27th, 2025.
In a message signed on January 13th, the Pope said he wanted to participate in all those who are in parliament.
“I pray to God,” he emphasized. “To maintain all efforts aimed at eradicating tragedy from this society, particularly to celebrate the initiatives you are promoting and the fruits it intends to endure.” .
AI that revolutionizes the Internet
Remembering their choice as the theme “artificial intelligence,” he observed that “like a tsunami” and “revolutionized the ever-evolving reality of the Internet.”
He said, “For older priests, the technical elements of these topics may be difficult to grasp. Keeping all progress in this parallel universe up to date is the web. “But the truth – the truth of the capital T – Jesus Christ is Jesus Christ,” he continued.
Of the many issues that can arise with regard to artificial intelligence, it is the need for “responsibility” in their argument that he acknowledges that they certainly deal with systematically.
Responsibility remains “us”
With artificial intelligence, there is a “recognized immunity” that “when you reach a new level, you don’t just look at, send or collect material that is inappropriate for creating “new” synthetic content. “
“The fact that our own hands did not produce these materials may “produce the false illusion that we are doing things that are embarrassing.” Or reveal something intimate that should be private. ”
“But that’s not true,” he continues with the warning, “The machine follows our command. It runs itself, but with the exception of itself, and with the exception of itself, and with the exception of itself, and with the exception of itself. , I won’t rule out that itself.”
The Pope compared our perception of the risks of AI and risks when we drive powerful cars.
He suggested that using technology is a risk that could cause harm, just like “accelerator steps” or “crossing into the opposite lane” in a powerful vehicle.
The Bible can guide us
Pope Francis emphasized that within their own framework of responsibility, both users of such technology and their designers “need to ensure its safety.”
In this sense, the Bible Bible said that it can guide us to address these challenges.
First, it can do so, he says, “by giving a voice to the victims who cry out to God, there is a growing awareness of the harm that is being done,” and “second,” and “technology By exposing falsehoods to use the “Excuses that will ease our conscience,” and “I urge individuals, technical designers and authorities to establish clear and specific regulations to prevent its harmful or criminal use.”
Finally, Pope Francis concluded by praying that Jesus blessed the congressional participants and that Mary would watch over them and demand prayer.
