AI experts and Catholic journalists spoke with one voice on the need for ethical regulations, saying: "The use of AI, which has already become mainstream, ultimately depends on the human users.
[Reporter] AI was not a trend When AlphaGo defeated 9-dan Lee Sedol in Go in 2016. (Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo program beat Korean Go {Asian Chess} grandmaster Lee Sedol to win the series 4-1. Evidence of the achievements of artificial intelligence)
However, since ChatGPT emerged in November 2022, global attention and enormous investment have been focused on AI.
Experts predict that AI will have a huge impact on human life.
The fact that the Catholic Communication Association chose the ‘AI era, media paradigm and ethics’ as the theme of this year’s Catholic Forum is also related to this trend.
Most of the forum presenters unanimously said: "We need to actively utilize artificial intelligence, which has become mainstream, and know it better." Prepare to prevent the risks and harmful effects of AI—fake news and false information which makes the role of the journalists to report the truth more important.
[Researcher] "There are many problems such as hallucinations created by generative AI, but in any case, there will be a lot of plausible fakes.

A digital expert predicted that the current position of portal sites and media companies will undergo significant changes due to AI.

A priest who was a discussant predicted that the role of religion will remain unchanged in the AI era.
This is because AI's answers cannot provide true empathy and spiritual comfort to people who express serious concerns.
Another Priest mentioned asking AI: "I don't know if I should live any longer"—Do you know what the AI said? "I will give you the phone number of the Suicide Prevention Counseling Center."
The problems and benefits of artificial intelligence for good or evil will be the human user.
