In the context of the rapid acceleration of AI integration into every field some writers argue for a new ethics tailored to artificial intelligence. They also discuss how humans, nature, and technology interact on a global scale. This shows that digital issues are closely linked to human progress and environmental concerns. Therefore, rather than just embracing a new era where technology solves all problems, the focus should be on humanizing the relationship between people and technology. This means caring for the environment, respecting human dignity and rights, revitalizing economy and politics, promoting global cooperation, and integrating technology responsibly, as advocated by Pope Francis in Laudato Si' and the Global Education Pact. Fr. Mendes said the next two meetings will be held on 5th September and 4th December 2024 respectively. The meeting came to a close with a call to be creative ambassadors promoting the positive use of evolving technologies such as AI for the betterment of all humankind and planet earth, our home. 11 Lulju-Settembru 2024 hajja
