Margarita Stancari: 我认为新教皇将人工智能置于其教皇任期的首要位置,这表明了他对这一问题的重视。梵蒂冈与科技公司在对人类未来的关注上存在交集,这使得教会能够参与到人工智能伦理的讨论中。我观察到,梵蒂冈举办的AI会议旨在提醒科技公司,他们面对的是一个拥有深刻道德权威的古老机构,这促使他们认真思考人工智能的伦理影响。 Jessica Mendoza: 我认为梵蒂冈在历史上并不以精通科技而闻名,但前教皇方济各已经开始关注社交媒体对社会关系的影响。我认为新教皇利奥十四世延续了方济各的关注,并将其提升到更高的层面。我注意到,新教皇选择“利奥”这个名字是为了致敬利奥十三世,这表明他希望像利奥十三世一样,关注工业革命对工人的影响,并保护工人免受人工智能的潜在危害。 Aidan Gomez: 我认为人工智能公司需要来自道德权威的指导,这不仅包括对技术可能出错的方面的指导,还包括对技术所带来的机遇的指导。我希望看到更多的指导,以帮助人工智能公司确定应该优先关注哪些机遇,从而更好地利用人工智能来改善医疗、教育和生产力。 Edgar Peña Parra: 我认为梵蒂冈可以提供其在人道方面的专业知识,尤其是在教育、健康和扶贫方面。我相信教会可以为人工智能的发展提供伦理指导,并确保其服务于人类的福祉。我们教会不是商业企业,而是拥有2000多年历史的机构,我们对人道有深刻的理解,我们可以提供这方面的专业知识。
