Pope Francis has asked Catholics to pray that robots and artificial intelligence will remain always at the service of human beings.
The special prayer was published last week in the latest edition of Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.
“We pray that the progress of robotics and artificial intelligence may always serve humankind,” it reads.
The Pope, and senior Vatican clerics, have repeatedly expressed concern about intelligent robots and cutting edge technology.
In February, the Pontifical Academy for Life issued an appeal for the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI).
The document was also signed by presidents of IBM and Microsoft.
