Vatican Enacts First AI Law, Setting Ethical Precedent

In a groundbreaking move this month, Vatican City introduced its first artificial intelligence law, banning discriminatory AI practices and establishing a dedicated commission for oversight. Drawing inspiration from the EU’s regulations, the decree champions transparency, inclusion, and human dignity—proving even the smallest state can make a big ethical statement. Spearheaded by Pope Francis, the initiative ensures AI aligns with the Church’s mission. This landmark legislation may inspire other nations to follow suit, blending faith with futuristic tech.
