"Antiqua et Nova: Note on the Relationship Between Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence.” Full Report

"Antiqua et Nova" (Latin for "Old and New") is the Vatican’s ethical and philosophical approach to artificial intelligence (AI)

The Vatican's Antiqua et Nova framework is vital to the sociological study of socialisation because it addresses how AI and technology are transforming the way we learn norms, values, and role and insists that these transformations must remain anchored in human dignity, ethical reflection, and cultural continuity.
