Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and Dicastery for Culture and Education, "Antiqua et nova: grade on the relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence.", 2025.

On January 28, 2025, the Vatican published the grade "Antiqua et Nova" on the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence. This document addresses the ethical and anthropological implications of AI, highlighting the opportunities it offers and also pointing out its risks. In particular, it emphasizes the need for this technology to complement, not replace, human intelligence. He stresses that human intelligence is not limited to statistical or quantitative calculations, but encompasses wisdom, moral responsibility and the capacity for empathy. Human embodiment allows for real deep relationships, something inaccessible to AI. Furthermore, he stresses that AI is an instrument that must be at the service of the common good, warning about the risks of its use without ethical oversight, especially in decisions that impact on human life and dignity.

Bernácer, Javier: "la libertad humana desde las neurociencias" (Video 45 min), 2022: 

The speaker is Javier Bernácer, researcher of the group 'Mind-Brain' of the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) of the University of Navarra. In this lecture, given at the I congress of the Spanish Section of the Society of Catholic Scientists (SCS), held from September 15 to 17, 2022 at the headquarters of the ICS, Bernácer exposes the different positions in the field of neuroscience on the topic of freedom (depending on the previous idea that one has about the mind-brain relationship). Among other topics, Bernácer sample through scientific programs of study the behavioral consequences of believing or not in the existence of freedom and explains in detail the lack of scientific foundation of Libet's experiments. Finally, he concludes that neuroscience has not demonstrated that freedom does not exist and that it can provide interesting data related to it, such as moral responsibility in mental illness or with brain implants. The session is given with an informative tone, it is understandable for a non-scientific audience.
