The Holy See did be joined for the first time by officials from the G7 countries in Italy as they convene. The Vatican announced that Pope Francis did participate in a conversation on Friday about the moral ramifications of artificial knowledge.
Italy PM Meloni said the priest’s existence would “make a significant contribution to defining a regulation, moral and social framework” for AI. According to Roman historian Alberto Melloni, the priest’s G7 presence goes against a long history in the Catholic Church that forbids invitations on the grounds that a pope does not require state leaders or anyone else to give him a platform to speak.
