CWN Editor's Note: A Vatican diplomat called for a “rigorous assessment” of AI as the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence prepares to present its first annual report.
“A rigorous assessment of both the opportunities and the risks associated with AI should be seen not as an obstacle to progress, but as an act of responsibility,” said Msgr.
