Artificial Intelligence: possibilities and challenges Franciscan humanism of fraternity

Abstract

This article presents some of the “exciting opportunities and grave risks” of artificial intelligence in light of the recent magisterium of Pope Francis. This is not an easy task, as the term “AI” refers to a “galaxy of different realities” and there is not a single definition of it. Recently there has been a qualitive leap with generative AI (1st part). Its challenges must be addressed at the legislative and ethical levels (2nd part). More specifically, the Pope urges the adoption of a humanism of fraternity inspired by Francis of Assisi (3rd part).
