Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its development in recent years, as well as the role it played during the pandemic in 2020, has aroused great interest in its applications in favor of life on the one hand and, on the other, fears regarding its use. Adherence to ethical criteria that promote and defend human dignity, justice, the principle of sociability and subsidiarity, that is why the intention of Pope Francis and Monsignor Paglia, from the Pontifical Academy for Life, arises to launch the call to reflect on the incorporation of ethics in AI. At the same time the RenAIssance Foundation calls for the incorporation of ethical principles in the different applications of AI from a global perspective and in all sectors.
