Pope Francis prays for good AI

Hoping to convert it later

The head of the Roman Catholic church has asked his invisible friend to make sure that AI is good for humans.

Pope Francis must be hoping that AI does better at organising humanity than organised religion managed and might look after kiddies better than the Roman Catholic church.

The Pope said that he was praying that the progress of robotics and artificial intelligence may always serve humankind.

This isn't the first time Francis has ventured into the fraught territory of AI ethics and alignment, although quite why the Roman Catholic Church with its bank dealings with organised crime, inherent corruption, and kiddie sex scandals feels that it has the right to talk about ethics.

In February, the Vatican hosted executives from IBM and Microsoft for a summit on "human-cantered" ways of designing AI.
