Vatican Releases 'Antiqua Et Nova' Essay On AI

In what most would consider a halcyon time for artificial intelligence, an anachronistic source has just added their two cents to the ethos around the AI revolution. The Vatican, on Jan. 28, released a significant broadside addressing the potential and risks of AI in a new high-tech world.
The article from Forbes, published on February 2, 2025, discusses the Vatican's release of an essay titled "Antiqua et Nova" focusing on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI). The essay, penned by the Pontifical Academy for Life, explores the intersection of AI with human dignity, ethics, and the common good. It emphasizes the need for AI to be developed in a way that respects human values, promotes justice, and ensures that technology serves humanity rather than dominates it. Key points include the call for global cooperation in AI governance, the ethical training of AI systems, and the prevention of AI from exacerbating social inequalities. The Vatican's document also touches on the philosophical and theological dimensions of AI, questioning how AI can reflect or challenge human creativity and the divine image in which humans are made.
