Giornalismo e intelligenza artificiale. Alla Gregoriana la “professione dei cinque sensi”

The Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome hosted an event titled "Journalism Ethics and Truth in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" to discuss how new technologies affect professional ethics and information. Speakers addressed the relationship between algorithms and the human capacity to observe, identify, and listen, noting that while machines can record and translate data faster than people, they lack empathy for those affected by events like war.

During the discussion, participants referenced Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical *Magnifica humanitas* and examined the distinction between public truth and published truth. Rai 1 Vaticanist Ignazio Ingrao warned that digital platforms and social media can cause communities to lose their connections to specific territories, languages, and cultures. Ingrao specifically noted that using artificial intelligence for automatic translation can lead to dangerous misunderstandings, creating an urgent need to protect the sense of community when using these tools.
