Pope Francis said Monday that most involved with the progression of human intelligence than synthetic intelligence.
Speaking to the church’s communication professionals in the Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace, the 88-year-old pope spoke of the need for a human-centered technique for communication, especially in the spread of the gospel.
Francis reflected on the concept of “nets,” returning to the biblical imagery of fishermen’s nets and Jesus’ call to Peter to “become a Build a network that can supply data that will deliver others from the “Sea of Depression and Error. “
“Let us think of how much we could accomplish together — thanks to the new tools of the digital era and to artificial intelligence — if instead of turning technology into an idol, we were more committed to networking,” the pope said.
“What worries me — more than artificial intelligence — is natural intelligence, the intelligence that we must develop,” he said.
Pope Francis urged communicators to examine their methods and motivations, warning against being seduced by the temptations of “self-promotion and the celebration of our own initiatives.” He also stressed the importance of fostering hope in a world often marked by despair and division.
“Ask us: What are we doing to sow hope in the midst of all the depression that surrounds us and demanding situations? What are we doing to succeed on the department virus that is undermining our communities? Or do we restrict ourselves to communicate over the Church to through just following the regulations established through corporate marketing?
Pope Francis asked the communicators to demonstrate “this hope is an illusion” and announce forgiveness.
“Christian communication is to show that the kingdom of God is near. It is provided here and now, as a miracle that can be experienced through the user and through culture,” he said.
“Communicating, for us, it is a tactic. It is a technique. It is the repetition of slogans or slogans,” he added. “Communication is an act of love. Only an act of selfless love can produce goodness networks. “
The Assembly followed the conclusion of the Jubilee of the Catholic Church of the World of Communications, which drew more than 10,000 participants from 138 countries to the Vatican news.
Pope Francis reminded the audience that Catholic communications is something that must extend beyond Church boundaries.
“Catholic communication is not isolation at all; It’s not just for Catholics. This is not a closed domain where we can keep to ourselves, a sect where we can communicate with ourselves,” he said. It is the open domain of a living witness who knows how to pay attention to and interpret the symptoms of the kingdom. “
“Today the Lord often knocks from the inside because he wants us, as Christians, to let him out. Too often we keep the Lord to ourselves. We must let the Lord out — he is knocking at the door to be let out — and not keep him somewhat ‘enslaved’ for own purposes. … Go forward with courage and the joy that comes from evangelizing.”
