The Vatican has expressed concerns about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) to spread misinformation, amid the growing rivalry between AI startups like DeepSeek and OpenAI.
According to the Vatican, AI-powered misinformation could have serious consequences, including the erosion of trust in institutions and the manipulation of public opinion. The Vatican has warned that AI could be used to create "shadow profiles" of individuals, allowing for targeted manipulation and propaganda.
The Vatican's concerns come as AI startups like DeepSeek and OpenAI are pushing the boundaries of AI research and development, with potential applications in fields like education, healthcare, and finance. However, the Vatican's warnings highlight the need for responsible AI development and the importance of addressing the potential risks and consequences of AI misuse.
