Scientific academies of the G7 countries launched an appeal to governments against the use of atomic weapons. There are six documents prepared by the academics: in addition to nuclear disarmament, they concern the technological and ethical challenges that artificial intelligence poses to society.
They also call for the protection of health in a moment of crisis of national services, the risk of new pandemics, an agricultural revolution that respects the environment and enough about technology. For the first time, the meeting of G7 Academies, called Science7 or S7, considered the issues of social inequalities and cultural heritage. The leaders of the Royal Society of Canada, the French Academie des Science, the German Leopoldina, the Science Council of Japan, the British Academy for Great Britain and the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, participated in the work. The academics handed over the documents to Ambassador Elisabetta Belloni, head of the Italian G7/G20 Sherpa of the Presidency of the Council.
