In his address during the opening ceremony of the 3rd Symposium of the Catholic University of Cape Verde, Arlindo Cardinal Gomes Furtado reflected on the growing influence of AI in daily life, cautioning that while innovation can advance human welfare, it also poses serious ethical and social challenges, including the sidelining of human values.
