The three main topics discussed at the G7 summit in Borgo Egnazia, Italy (perhaps one of the most important in decades)

The G7 summit, being held this year in Borgo Egnazia, Apulia, Italy, brings together the leaders of Germany, Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom, along with representatives from the European Union. On this occasion, other world leaders also attended, such as the Argentine president, Javier Milei, and the event has served to address critical issues such as the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, and the war in the Gaza Strip. The G7 leaders focus on Russia, Chinese trade practices, and AI ethics.

Milei, the Argentine president, stood out in several conversations today, including the importance of AI (He was clearly the best prepared on this topic), the ethics in its use also by Miloni, and the Pope. In response, Lula Da Silva differentiated himself by calling for a super tax on large fortunes.

The G7 leaders continued their discussions on artificial intelligence and AI ethics, expanding on the principles agreed upon at their last summit in Japan, called the Hiroshima Framework. They will have an interesting ally to promote AI ethics in Pope Francis, who last year fell victim to AI-generated memes showing him wearing an expensive designer padded jacket, riding a motorcycle, piloting a fighter jet, DJing at a nightclub, and in other incongruous settings. Meloni seeks to reinforce Francis's initiative, the Rome Call for AI Ethics. It urges governments, institutions, and businesses to "create a future where digital innovation and technological progress serve human genius and creativity and not their gradual replacement."

"The discussion between apocalyptic AI and integrated AI has reached the global stage, with the Argentine president leading one of those visions. The G7 is thus forced to consider the major general problems of humanity and not just the particular interests of their countries," said PRO deputy Fernando Iglesias, who is part of the accompanying delegation. Milei's government aims to make Argentina a hub for artificial intelligence development in the short term, which is why this topic has occupied a significant part of the libertarian's international agenda, meeting with executives from major companies in this sector.

1. Chinese Competition and Trade Practices:

- The G7 leaders are focused on forging a united stance on the economic security threats that China poses to the global economy. Issues such as overcapacity in electric vehicles, China's support for Russia's war machinery, and its trade practices and investments in developing countries are being discussed.

2. Crisis in Ukraine and Gaza:

- The summit has addressed the war in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, emphasizing the importance of finding solutions to these conflicts and promoting stability in the region.

3. Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI):

- Another crucial topic discussed at the G7 summit is the ethics of Artificial Intelligence. Leaders have expanded on principles agreed upon in previous summits and have focused on promoting an ethical approach to the development and application of AI. Pope Francis has also been an ally on this issue, advocating for a future where digital innovation serves humanity.

The G7 leaders have also discussed investments in global infrastructure and the reform of multilateral development banks to counter China's loan offers to developing countries through the Belt and Road Initiative.

In summary, the G7 summit in Italy has been the scene of important discussions on topics impacting the global economy, international security, and technological development, highlighting the importance of cooperation and joint action to address these global challenges.
