Vatican City: RenAIssance Foundation; Pontifical Academy for Life (2022), 12 pp.
"The Rome Call for AI Ethics is a document signed for the first time on February 28th 2020, in Rome, to promote an ethical approach to artificial intelligence. The idea behind it is to promote a sense of shared responsibility among international organizations, governments, institutions and technology companies in an effort to create a future in which digital innovation and technological progress grant man his centrality. Pointing to a new algorethics, the signatories committed to request the development of an artificial intelligence that serves every person and humanity as a whole; that respects the dignity of the human person, so that every individual can benefit from the advances of technology; and that does not have as its sole goal greater profit or the gradual replacement of people in the workplace."

"Six ethical principles:
1. Transparency: AI systems must be understandable to all.
2. Inclusion: These systems must not discriminate against anyone because every human being has equal dignity.
3. Responsibility: There must always be someone who takes responsibility for what a machine does.
4. Impartiality: AI systems must not follow or create biases.
5. Reliability: AI must be reliable.
6. Security and privacy: These systems must be secure and respect the privacy of users." (Page 11)
