Pope Francis has issued a warning about AI as he became the first pontiff to address the G7 summit of world leaders.<\/p>\n

A hush fell as he entered the room in his wheelchair – and he greeted each of the leaders in turn, including President Biden, President Zelenskyy and Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n

His countryman, Argentinian President Javier Milei<\/a><\/strong>, gave him an especially warm welcome, while there was a hug from Jordan’s King Abdullah and a whispered exchange with President Biden<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Pope<\/a><\/strong> told leaders artificial intelligence<\/a><\/strong> offered “epochal transformation” that included “exponential” advances in scientific research.<\/p>\n

However, he warned it must be closely monitored to maintain “human dignity” and control.<\/p>\n

“We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people’s ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We need to ensure and safeguard a space for proper human control over the choices made by artificial intelligence programmes: human dignity itself depends on it.”<\/p>\n

“No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being,” he added.<\/p>\n

The speech echoed his annual peace message, which called for a treaty to ensure AI is developed ethically to uphold values such as compassion and morality.<\/p>\n

The meeting is taking place in Italy’s southern Puglia region, some 260 miles from the 87-year-old Pope’s home in The Vatican.<\/p>\n

The core G7 is made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and US.<\/p>\n

However, the leaders of India, Brazil, Turkey, Algeria, Kenya and Tunisia – who together represent 1.6 billion people – are also there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The first day of the summit on Thursday brought about a renewed pledge to support Ukraine<\/a><\/strong> in its war with Russia.<\/p>\n

Migration from Africa, a particular concern for Italy, the Gaza war<\/a><\/strong>, and climate change are also on the agenda.<\/p>\n

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni<\/a><\/strong> will host an informal dinner on Friday evening and on Saturday afternoon there will be a final press conference on the summit’s outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
