Thousands gathered to welcome the pope in France on Friday, shortly after he raised existential questions about technological advancement and human rights during his opening speech to President Emmanuel Macron and authorities at the Elysee Palace and then to diplomats and United Nations employees at the headquarters of UNESCO, the UN culture and education organisation.

Scientific progress should not turn “into profit-driven ventures promoting genetic manipulation, surrogacy, the trade in human organs or the possibility of arranging one’s own death”, the pope said, a few months after France passed a landmark bill legalising assisted dying.

Ele reafirmou a oposição do Vaticano às armas nucleares, afirmando que a doutrina de dissuasão nuclear era “errada”, pois estava intensificando uma nova corrida armamentista.

The pope identified AI as one of the greatest challenges currently facing humanity since the very beginning of his pontificate, dedicating his first encyclical to the topic to call for significant regulation and for developers to work for the common good.

The pope had earlier told reporters that he was pleased that his message was being heard by AI developers and hoped the dialogue would continue between tech companies and the Vatican.

The pope’s trip to France marks the first official state visit by a pope in 18 years. While secularism is enshrined in the country’s constitution, the pontiff stressed that “authentic secularity” should not exclude religion “from the public sphere or from education”.

O Vaticano estimou que cerca de 300. 000 pessoas saíram para ver o pontífice na sexta-feira.
