Nobel laureates, former heads of state, and executives from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, AARU, and Anthropic signed the Rome Declaration for an Unarmed and Disarming Peace on July 16 after a three-day assembly at the Vatican. The declaration covers artificial intelligence, nuclear and autonomous weapons, new digital protocols, and emerging models of digital development.
It reflects Pope Leo XIV’s vision of an unarmed and disarming peace, drawn from his encyclical Magnifica humanitas on protecting the human person in the age of artificial intelligence.
The assembly ran from July 14 to July 16 amid ongoing international conflicts and a worsening nuclear scenario. Participants examined ways to combine technological innovation with responsibility and ethics. A public ceremony and international press conference concluded the gathering at the Capitoline Hill in the Giulio Cesare Hall.
The event was livestreamed starting at 4 pm Philippine time.
