I'll save you a click: the "barbarism" in the clickbait title is incorrect usages of "technological advances such as artificial intelligence where the law of the strongest prevails over the common good" (article's paraphrasing, not Pope's words).
- anon9001 7y agoThanks, I owe you a click ;)
- jhanschoo 7y agoI don't think it's paraphrasing since those are quoted. Literally, in the lead paragraph, > Pope Francis urged Silicon Valley giants on Friday to make sure technological advances such as artificial intelligence do not lead to a new “form of barbarism” where the law of the strongest prevails over the common good. Unfortunately the minutes are unavailable afaict.
- drusepth 7y agoThanks for clarifying. I was just specifying my quote above was from the article text, not a direct quote from the Pope. FWIW, the actual quote from the Pope follows: >"If mankind’s so-called technological progress were to become an enemy of the common good, this would lead to an unfortunate regression to a form of barbarism dictated by the law of the strongest"
