More than 200 Nobel laureates and experts signed a declaration calling for human control over AI and nuclear weapons.
- On Thursday, July 16, the Global Nobel Laureates Assembly concluded at Rome's Capitoline Hill with the signing of the Rome Declaration, addressing risks from artificial intelligence, nuclear weapons, and autonomous weapons.
- More than 200 authoritative figures gathered for the assembly, inspired by Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica humanitas, which seeks to safeguard human dignity amid rapid artificial intelligence evolution.
- Cardinal Baldo Reina stressed humanity stands at a "pivotal moment," while Nobel Prize laureate Professor David Gross warned that nuclear arms danger is far greater than 30 years ago.
- The Declaration asserts that "decisions concerning life and death, peace and war, and the future of peoples and generations yet to come must remain under full, responsible, and meaningful human control."
- Professor Daniel Holz of Chicago noted this is a time of "unprecedented danger," yet many practical steps exist to improve safety against nuclear and artificial intelligence threats.
