I wanna put this in science...

Rather than rejecting technology, the Vatican is urging global leaders to implement robust legal frameworks and independent oversight to ensure AI remains human-centric and protective of human dignity.

I thought perhaps the Pope was complaining about an AI version of him on social media.

Obvi not so inane and childish...papal encyclical on artificial intelligence, Magnifica Humanitas, the Pope frames the rapid rise of AI as a definitive crossroads for the human family:

"At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence thrusts a decisive choice upon humanity: to construct a new Tower of Babel, seeking a false divinity through absolute technocratic control, or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together, where technological innovation is directed by love and placed at the service of integral human development."

He goes on...

Video summary:

I believe AI will lead to Transhumanism and the end of humanity as we know it. I am already completely sick of it. So are a lot of others.

Thanx for the links!

So you are completely Aimish? You see zero redeeming value? Do you think we will achieve a star trek universe without it?

Why didn't you put it in science? If cross posting were a thing ....

Mostly because if I had put it in science I would have said I wanna put this in Christianity.

I am not Catholic, like the teachings purported to be by Jesus, but not Christian...but I find when the pope speaks it is often worth reading.
