AI Ethics for Peace – Hiroshima, July 10th, 2024

Jul 12, 2024 | Latest news, Press release

Eleven World Religions, sixteen new signatories, thirteen nations in attendance, more than 150 participants: these are some of the numbers of AI Ethics for Peace, the historic multi-religious event held in Hiroshima, Japan, on July 9th and 10th.

The event was greeted by Pope Francis with a dedicated tweet and a message, which read, “Recognizing the contribution of the cultural riches of peoples and religions in the regulation of artificial intelligence is key to the success of your commitment to the wise management of technological innovation.”

Today, July 10th, religious leaders representing various faiths of the Eastern world (such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Bahá’í and many other), accompanied by leaders of the Abrahamic religions (Christians, Jews and Muslims), signed the Rome Call for AI Ethics in the evocative venue of Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park.

The new signatories, in the presence of top representatives of the Japanese Government and of big tech Microsoft, IBM and Cisco, signed the Call which urges the application, in the field of AI, of algorethics, i.e. ethics by design.

The Pew Research Center reports that 85 percent of the world’s population identifies with a religious tradition. Leaders representing all major religions have signed the Rome Call for AI Ethics. This makes the Rome Call platform representative of most people on the planet.

On the second day of the event, the organizing partners (Pontifical Academy for Life, Religions for Peace Japan, Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace of the United Arab Emirates, Commission for Interreligious Relations of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel) presented a document named Hiroshima Appeal, in which, in addition to reiterating the need to use AI only for the good of humanity and the planet, they urged the international community to use peaceful ways to resolve any conflict in order to achieve an immediate cessation of all armed conflicts.
