LZ: “A demand from Lucerne to go around the world with the help of the Pope”
Artificial intelligence must respect human rights and be regulated globally. In his message for the World Day of Peace, Pope Francis supports two specific proposals for action from Lucerne. Professor of Ethics Peter G. Kirchschlaeger talks about the background.
In his message for this year's World Day of Peace "Artificial Intelligence and Peace", Pope Francis speaks out in favour of two concrete proposals for action from Lucerne: human rights-based "AI" and the creation of an International Data-based Systems Agency (IDA) at the UN to enforce the regulation of "AI".
Prof. Dr. Peter G. Kirchschlaeger talks to the "Luzerner Zeitung" about the background of the project and how things are progressing:
