Cisco has joined companies including Microsoft and IBM in signing the Rome Call for AI Ethics. Authored by the RenAIssance Foundation, a division of the Roman Catholic Church’s Pontifical Academy for Life, the Rome Call is a non-legally binding agreement to promote a safe and future-proof approach to AI. Several government entities, including the FAO, in addition to major universities and several representatives of the Abrahamic religions, have also signed the pact. 

“We are very pleased that Cisco has joined the Rome Call, because it is a company that plays a crucial role as a technological partner for the adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), by offering expertise in infrastructure, security, and protection of AI data and systems,” said the RenAIssance Foundation’s president, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia. “From now on, we will look at how this can further grow to combine the already present corporate commitment with the ethical principles of the Rome Call.”
