AI
The development of artificial intelligence must be guided by human values and ethical responsibility in order to protect the dignity of humanity from economic and technological interests.
the Archbishop urged with great emphasis that the development of AI technology be advanced at a human pace and with human goals, in order to place humanity "before profit, convenience, or technological progress at all costs."
The text reflects on the current debates surrounding artificial intelligence, which range from existential warnings to potential cures. The author refers to a speech by Archbishop Sarah in the House of Lords, which calls for a human orientation of AI development. This speech draws on Christian values such as sacrifice, humility, and service, which are rooted in the biblical readings from Philippians and Matthew. The central demand is to place humanity before profit, convenience, and technological progress at all costs. A warning is issued that AI is already leading to the concentration of wealth, job losses, and misinformation. The author hopes that decision-makers in business and politics will follow this advice in order to keep the technology in the service of humanity.
