‘Artificial Intelligence, the Military and Weapons
Zoom Webinar
7.00pm Wednesday 17th January 2024 

In his message for the World Day of Peace, Pope Francis warned that research on emerging technologies and the weaponisation of artificial intelligence is a cause for ‘grave ethical concern’.  ‘The ability to conduct military operations through remote control systems’ he said ‘has lessened the perception of the devastation caused by those weapons systems and the burden of responsibility for their use, resulting in an even more cold and detached approach to the immense tragedy of war’  

On Wednesday 17th January, Pax Christi are hosting a post Peace Sunday webinar reflecting on these issues with guest speaker Chris Cole, Director of Drone Wars UK.  Chris will provide updates on developments in military applications of AI, particularly in the UK and how we can campaign for artificial intelligence to be used for peace and not violence.
