In the movie, Pope Francis said, 'Artificial intelligence is at the heart of the breakthrough changes we are experiencing, and robotics, when combined with the public interest, leads to a better world of technology. If progress increases inequality, it is not true progress. Future progress should be directed towards emphasizing the dignity of people and creations. Robotics Let's hope that the progress of artificial intelligence will always benefit humankind. '
