Harnessing Artificial Intelligence's transformative power to make food systems more efficient, sustainable and inclusive - Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations

FAO Director-General QU Dongyu became today one of the first signatories of a ethical resolution on Artificial Intelligence (AI) endorsed by Pope Francis, stressing the importance of minimizing this new technology's risks while exploiting its potential benefits.

"Artificial Intelligence needs to be transparent, inclusive, socially beneficial and accountable," Qu said, adding: "We need to ensure the human-centric approach in designing and implementing artificial intelligence today and in the future."

The FAO Director-General joined Italy's Minister for Technological Innovation and Digitalization, Paola Pisano, Microsoft President Brad Smith and IBM Executive Vice President John Kelly III in signing the "Rome Call for AI Ethics" in a ceremony presided by Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life. European Parliament President David Sassoli was also in attendance.
