Pope to bring his call for ethical artificial intelligence to G7 summit in June in southern Italy
Pope Francis is taking his call for artificial intelligence to be developed and used according to ethical lines to the Group of 7 industrialized nations.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced Friday that Francis had accepted her invitation to attend the G7 Summit in Puglia in June. The Vatican confirmed the news.

Meloni, who currently heads the G7, is hosting the June 13-15 summit of leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the United States.
In a video statement Friday, Meloni said Francis would be the first pontiff to attend a G7 summit and would participate in the session devoted to artificial intelligence.

“I am convinced that the presence of His Holiness will make a decisive contribution to the definition of a regulatory, ethical and cultural framework for artificial intelligence,” Meloni said.
Francis has called for an international treaty to ensure AI is developed and used ethically and devoted his annual peace message this year to the topic.
Artificial intelligence has captured world attention thanks to advances by cutting-edge systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT that have dazzled users with the ability to produce human-like text, photos and songs. 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.

The Vatican’s bioethics think tank, the Pontifical Academy for Life, has also led a campaign to engage big tech corporations, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations to pledge to uphold a set of standards in the ethical development and use of AI, with Cisco Systems the latest signatory just this week.
At the recently concluded G7 foreign ministers’ meeting held last weekend in Capri, Italy, ministers flagged the risks to cybersecurity posed by AI and acknowledged the “importance of advancing our efforts to ensure safe, secure and trustworthy AI, which is humancentric and human rights-based.”
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – Firefighters battled a fire Thursday night that left a home with more than $100,000 in damage.
Just before 11 p.m., June 4, Cherry Valley Fire Protection District was called out to the 5300 block of Dallas Court in Rockford for a report of smoke coming from a roof.
When crews arrived, they found heavy smoke outside and heavy fire conditions inside the home. Eight area departments responded to assist, and the fire was brought under control in about 20 minutes.
No residents were home at the time of the blaze, and no one was hurt.
Cherry Valley Fire Protection District says the cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.

MIAMI — Wildlife officers are investigating after a woman was reportedly attacked by three raccoons in North Miami.
The attack happened Thursday night in the Keystone neighborhood.
Officials said a resident had hired a professional trapper and had a nuisance raccoon trapped in a backyard.
“The person went out to investigate because of the noise and to secure the area,” North Miami Council Member Kevin Burns said. “And as they were doing that, three additional raccoons came under the fence and attacked the individual, causing severe trauma.”
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, raccoons are intelligent animals found throughout Florida. The agency says a panicked raccoon can bite.
“We have a large raccoon population,” Burns said.
Burns said he has received many emails from concerned residents following the attack.
“We advise people, along with FWC, don’t feed the animals,” Burns said.
The injured woman is recovering at Ryder Trauma Center, where several FWC officers were seen.
In a statement, the agency said the county health department has been notified.
“FWC Wildlife Assistance biologists will be providing the injured party and neighbors with technical assistance and guidance for prevention of further conflicts with raccoons,” the agency said.

The FIFA World Cup is set to kick off in Atlanta in 10 days.
Nine teams will play group-stage matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but the U.S. men’s national team is not one of them. The USMNT’s group stage takes place in Los Angeles and Seattle, but that doesn’t mean Atlanta has no chance of seeing the national team in person.
