The Papacy just released its guidelines on Ethical AI: Institute for Technology, Ethics, and Culture - Markkula Center for Applied Ethics

“It may come as a surprise to some to discover the Vatican’s engagement with this project but it is ultimately the result of meetings – “encounters” to use one of Pope Francis’ favorite words – between the Vatican and the world of technology.”

This is to be welcomed for at least three reasons.

Firstly at the heart of many #AI Ethics discussions are bigger questions about human society - what do we mean by “fairness” for example. The wider these debates go the better for us all. If we rely only on VC investment choices or the iron clamp of regulation we will miss the wider conversation that society needs to be having.

Secondly, based on a quick skim, it appears to be a sensible and appropriately sober appraisal of potential approaches to AI oversight.
