As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make.

We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications.”“Machines are tools, not persons.

His final consideration is a challenge that he outlined as potentially the most urgent as the world needs operational frameworks to put guiding AI for the public good and a public interest orientation into practice.His address to the meeting participants extended his gratitude for their contributions in the field of AI and encouraged them to collaborate resiliently through open dialogue and a shared duty for the public interest.
