Tech giant Cisco Systems has recently signed onto a Vatican-sponsored pledge, known as the Rome Call, to ensure that artificial intelligence (AI) is developed and utilized ethically for the common good. The pledge was also endorsed by Microsoft and IBM.
The Rome Call outlines key principles for the ethical and responsible use of AI. It emphasizes the importance of designing, using, and regulating AI systems in a manner that upholds the dignity of all individuals without discrimination, as well as protecting their environments. Transparency, inclusion, responsibility, impartiality, and security are highlighted as essential guiding principles for all AI developments.
