Artificial intelligence and wisdom of the heart:
for fully human communication:
this is the theme chosen by Pope Francis for the 58th World Communications Day, to be celebrated in 2024. “The evolution of artificial intelligence systems,” reads the presentation of the theme, released by the Holy See Press Office, “makes it increasingly natural to communicate through and with machines, so that it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish computation from thought, language produced by a machine from that generated by human beings. Like all revolutions, this one, too, based on artificial intelligence, poses new challenges so that machines do not contribute to the spread of a large-scale system of disinformation and do not also increase the loneliness of those who are already lonely, depriving us of the warmth that only communication between people can provide.”
