“…Such an ethic promotes an attitude towards science and technology that is fundamentally confident and innovation-friendly. (Sinibaldi, E. et al, 2020) Likewise, Pope Francis consistently points out the positives that technology brings to his previous statements, but sets the limits that must be observed, and in our opinion, these limits can be provided exactly by Christian anthropology.…”

The article focused on problems of Artificial Intelligence, questions of ethics and role and position of the Catholic Church. Pontifical Academy for Life, Microsoft, IBM, FAO, the Italia Government, signed on February 2020 the “Call for an AI Ethics”, a document developed to support an ethical approach to Artificial Intelligence and promote a sense of responsibility among organizations, governments, and institutions with the aim to create a future in which digital innovation and technological progress serve human genius and creativity and not their gradual replacement. The objective of the Pontifical Academy for Life is the defence and promotion of the value of human life and of the dignity of the person. Let us pray that the progress of robotics and artificial intelligence may always serve humankind, said pope Francis in November 2020.

El uso de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) y su desarrollo en los últimos años, así como el papel que jugó durante la pandemia en 2020 ha suscitado, por un lado, un gran interés en sus aplicaciones en favor de la vida y, por el otro, temores respecto a su apego a criterios éticos que promueven y defienden la dignidad humana, la justicia, el principio de sociabilidad y de subsidiaridad. Por ello surge la intención del papa Francisco y de monseñor Paglia, desde la Academia Pontificia para la Vida, de lanzar el llamado a reflexionar sobre la incorporación de la ética en la IA; a la par, la fundación RenAIssance alberga el llamado para que, desde una perspectiva global y en todos los sectores, se incorporen principios éticos en las diferentes aplicaciones de la IA.

Toward a Human-Centered Economy and Politics: The Theory of Justice as Fairness from Rawls to Sen

In this paper, I present the suggestion that a suitable theory of “justice as fairness” could offer a consistent path for solving many issues related to the actual crisis of the classical liberal model of economy and democracy, by substituting the abstract “equality” principle, with the concrete “equity” one in the notion of justice. After a short discussion of some main characters of the present worldwide crisis of the classical liberal model, I present two main theories of justice as fairness. John Rawls’ theory in political philosophy that emphasizes how really equitable judgements must overcome the equalitarianism of the Classical Liberalism, by considering the real possibilities of individuals and groups of accessing and enjoying commodities and utilities, as well as, the “basic liberties” defining the citizen equal dignity in the Modern State. Rawls propose, therefore, a notion of fairness compliant with the Kantian normativism, and a notion of fair distributive justice based on the ethical principle of the maximin, as a criterion for judging the righteousness of the State Institutions. The other theory of justice as fairness I discuss in this paper is an evolution of Rawls’ in the direction of the development of a “comparative distributive justice”, without any normativism. This theory is developed in the context of the newborn discipline of the “social choice theory”, formalizing social decision processes, with applications in economic, social, and political sciences. What characterizes Sen’s theory is its original synthesis between the Aristotelian notion of fairness, based on the “personal flourishing”, and Adam Smith’s ethical principle of the “extended sympathy”, by which making comparable different approaches to pursue the personal flourishing, i.e., for achieving “valued and valuable ways of being and of doing”, compliant with, and respectful of, different value systems.
