A dialogue meeting, between MEPs, representatives of the European Commission and representatives of Churches, Religious and Humanitarian Organizations, on “Artificial Intelligence: Ethical Concerns”, chaired by Vice-President Mairead McGuinness, was held on Tuesday, March 19, in the building of the European Parliament in Brussels.
The dialogue was held with a view to presenting, within the month, the European Commission’s final text on the European Code of Ethics on Artificial Intelligence.
In this dialogue participated and intervened the Counselor of the Office, Protopresbyter Dr. George Lekkas, on behalf of the Office of the Delegation of the Church of Greece in the EU.
Father George Lekkas, with his two interventions during this dialogue, called for the issue of artificial intelligence in the EU to be linked to the debate on European social and ethical values “in order to have a criterion on where we want to go with the machines”, and asked for the criminalisation of the attempts to aggregate human and mechanical elements, in order to protect not only the human dignity, but the human species in general.
