In a video outlining the agenda for Italy’s upcoming G7 presidency, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that Pope Francis will be attending the session focused on artificial intelligence. Meloni expressed her gratitude to the Holy Father for accepting Italy’s invitation and emphasized his presence would bring prestige to both Italy and the G7 as a whole.
Pope Francis will be taking part in the ‘outreach’ session, which is open not only to G7 members but also to invited countries. His contribution is believed to be crucial in establishing a regulatory, ethical, and cultural framework for artificial intelligence. The engagement of Pope Francis in this session signifies a significant moment in history and underscores the importance of involving diverse perspectives in shaping policies and regulations in this rapidly advancing field.
