The Global Nobel Laureates Assembly on Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear War concluded July 16 with the signing of the Rome Declaration for an Unarmed and Disarming Peace, Rappler reported. The three-day gathering at the Vatican from July 14 to 16 drew Nobel laureates, emeritus heads of state and government, and executives from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, AARU, and Anthropic.
Discussions focused on contemporary global challenges and the pursuit of a framework that merges technological innovation with ethical responsibility.
The assembly was inspired by Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica humanitas, which centers on safeguarding the human person in an era of artificial intelligence. It occurred against a backdrop of international conflict, instability, and heightened nuclear risks, aligning with the Pope’s stated vision of an unarmed and disarming peace.
The Rome Declaration addresses artificial intelligence, nuclear and autonomous weapons, new digital protocols, and emerging models of digital development.
The event closed with a public ceremony and international press conference at the Capitoline Hill in Rome’s historic Giulio Cesare Hall.
