attention also to the African continent. We’ve been discussing it, many times, for I think we have to remember that Africa is not a poor continent; it is, on the contrary, incredibly rich in human and material resources, but it has been neglected and exploited with a predatory approach for a long time. I want to reverse this approach, together with you, which is also a root cause of the migration crisis. We need to support Africa’s development on an equal basis and put an end to illegal migration while fighting human trafficking. Human trafficking has become the most financially rewarding crime globally, and we cannot accept it any longer. For this reason, I came here today also with a proposal to launch a global alliance against human traffickers. The G7 will discuss artificial intelligence as well. AI is a means, it can be a good or a bad one, it depends on our capacity to govern it, to tackle the risks and the impact it can have, for example on the labour market. We want to develop AI, but also we want to be certain that it remains human centered … White House, 1 March 2024 … Our goal is to put Italy back, on a political level, where our Lord already positioned us in geographical terms: a platform in the middle of the Mediterranean, a bridge between the European continent and the African continent. We have done this with Europe, we have done this with Africa and we have done this in our discussions within the Atlantic Alliance; we will do this as part of the Italian Presidency of the G7 during this very challenging year … States General of Italy, Brussels, 22 March 2024 … When it comes to artificial intelligence … This is one of the major issues we are addressing at [the] national level, and with the scientific community, with major international players and with companies that produce generative artificial intelligence. We want to do this by endeavouring to give body and soul to the concept of ‘algorethics’, i.e., giving ethics to algorithms. We did not come up with this concept ourselves; this work began with a wonderful initiative organised by the Vatican in 2020. I believe this must be the compass that accompanies our work as a nation and clearly in multilateral fora, because these are not issues that nation states can tackle and solve alone. Italian Scientists Association’s ‘La scienza al centro dello Stato’, 5 April 2024 we are also bringing it to Italy’s Presidency of the G7, which as you know is this year. We of course want to do this by talking about and engaging on this issue
