		</div><p>Tech giant Cisco Systems has joined Microsoft and IBM in signing on to a Vatican-sponsored pledge to ensure artificial intelligence is developed and used ethically and to benefit the common good.</p>
<p>Cisco Systems chief executive Chuck Robbins signed the document, known as the Rome Call, and met privately with Pope Francis, the Vatican said.</p>
<p>The pledge outlines key pillars of ethical and responsible use of AI.</p>
<p>It emphasises that AI systems must be designed, used and regulated to serve and protect the dignity of all human beings, without discrimination, and their environments.</p>
<p>It highlights principles of transparency, inclusion, responsibility, impartiality and security as necessary to guide all AI developments.</p>
<p>The document was unveiled and signed at a Vatican conference on February 28 2020 – just before Italy locked down as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic – by Microsoft’s Brad Smith and IBM’s John Kelly III.</p>
<p>Universities, UN agencies, private corporations and non-governmental organisations have signed on as well.</p>
<p>Francis has called for an international treaty to ensure AI is developed and used ethically, devoting his annual peace message this year to the topic.</p>
<p>Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life who is leading the AI initiative, welcomed Cisco’s participation.</p>
<p>He cited the IT company’s expertise in “infrastructure, security and protection of AI data and systems”.</p>
<p>Artificial intelligence has captured world attention thanks to advances by cutting-edge systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT that have dazzled users with the ability to produce human-like text, photos and songs.</p>
<p>But the technology has also raised fears about the risks the rapidly developing technology poses to jobs, privacy and copyright protection and even human life itself.</p>
