Rome, April 19. (LaPresse) – Thinking about our time and the advent of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, which also has a pervasive impact on forms of knowledge, the message that Pope Leo XIV sent, signed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, for Catholic University Day emphasizes how knowledge processes cannot be reduced to the production of increasingly powerful algorithms, but, on the contrary, require an adequate level of human responsibility and ethical evaluation. Pope Leo XIV reminds us that "as Catholics we can and must make our contribution, so that people –especially young people – acquire the capacity for critical thinking and grow in the freedom of the spirit." In fact, "just as the Industrial Revolution required basic literacy to allow people to react to novelty, so too does the digital revolution require digital literacy (along with a humanistic and cultural education)."
