Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State, inaugurated five days of events celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Faculty of Canon Law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. In his lecture, Parolin highlighted the ethical and spiritual responsibilities of technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, emphasizing the need to protect the vulnerable and serve the common good. He referenced Leo XIV’s encyclical ‘Magnifica humanitas’ and ‘Rerum novarum,’ drawing parallels between the digital and industrial revolutions. Parolin also outlined three criteria for jurists and diplomats to promote justice, urging a shift away from the ‘just war’ theory and the development of norms to govern artificial intelligence.
