A group of Nobel laureates, AI scientists, religious leaders, and other luminaries signed the so-called ‘Rome Declaration for an Unarmed and Disarming Peace’.
The Declaration calls for an international treaty to ban autonomous systems from accessing nuclear launches while emphasizing that the threat is also not so far-fetched.
It was inspired by Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas.
It was a declaration that calls for protecting human dignity from unchecked AI.
It warns that AI-controlled nuclear systems pose an existential risk, arguing that algorithms lack morality, empathy, and judgment, and must never replace human decision-making in the use of nuclear weapons.
