Ai4Peace symposium explores artificial intelligence for global peace

The Ai4Peace Global Biennial Symposium & International Conference is being held at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome. The event brings together researchers, policymakers, and technologists to discuss the role of artificial intelligence in promoting peace, security, and human rights.

In a message read by Don Andrea Ciucci, the Pope urged participants to ensure that technological progress serves human dignity and strengthens global bonds. The message emphasized transforming the fruits of innovation into “tools of peace” to foster dialogue, reconciliation, and solidarity in a world marked by conflict and division.

Discussions at the symposium focus on using AI for conflict prevention, the protection of human rights, and the development of new governance models. Notable participants and speakers include Alfonso V. Amarante, Francisco Rojas Aravena, Jeffrey Sachs, and Jeremy Rifkin.
