Wrap Up & Goodbye
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama answers a question from Tenzin Yangtso

In the end, AI is a tool for this world. No matter how advanced it becomes, it can never replace the human mind's capacity for instantaneous change and its boundless power of perception.

Because life does not begin in isolation but arises from a nature of interdependence, we must use these tools not for the sake of control, but to improve the pathways of human connection. The true compassion within technology acts as a bridge to clear away the ignorance between us.

— His Holiness Dalai Lama XIV

We need faces and voices to speak for people again. We need to cherish the gift of communication as the deepest truth of humanity, to which all technological innovation should also be oriented.

— Pope Leo XIV
