Technologie: Papst fordert institutionelle Aufsicht für die Entwicklung von KI
Bereits im Frühjahr hatte sich Papst Leo XIV. in seiner Enzyklika zu der Entwicklung von Künstlicher Intelligenz geäußert. Nun macht er seine Forderungen noch deutlicher.
Pope Leo XIV has called for institutional oversight and ethical guidelines for the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Speaking to researchers and AI experts on Friday, the Pope stated that the ethical principles governing AI development are already known. The most pressing challenge now lies in establishing international institutions to implement these principles.
"This requires common standards, independent control, and clear mechanisms of accountability," Pope Leo said. "This way, decisions on AI development and deployment can be scrutinized and contested if necessary." For every damage caused, there must be an adequate compensation. The Pope referred to many key points from his spring published teaching "Magnifica Humanitas" (Great Humanity), in which he discussed AI.
The future of AI is not set, he said. Much depends on the decisions made by developers and politicians today. Machines are tools, not persons. They should not decide on life and death and should not receive legal status. "AI systems are ultimately parasites"
