Pope urges believers to pray that AI and robots 'always serve mankind'

Worried Pope Francis has urged believers to pray that artificial intelligence and robots "always serve mankind."

In one of his monthly "prayer intentions", which has been shared on YouTube, the pope suggested he was concerned about technology.

The message implied AI and robots could further increase inequalities.

He said AI was “at the heart of the epochal change we are experiencing."

He also acknowledged that robotics had the power to change the world in a positive way.

The pope said: “Indeed, if technological progress increases inequalities, it is not true progress.”
"Future advances should be orientated towards respecting the dignity of the person."

It comes as earlier this year, Pope Francis supported a call by IBM and Microsoft to work on the ethics of AI.

The leaders and the pope discussed "human–centred" ways of designing AI, reports BBC.
