Vatican Secretary of State warns AI lacks 'heart', urges serious analysis of risks

Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State, publicly cautioned that artificial intelligence is 'just a brain, it has no heart,' calling for serious examination of its consequences and dangers. The statement signals the Holy See's growing engagement in AI ethics discourse, aligning with broader institutional calls for regulation. It is a rhetorical position rather than a policy action, with no immediate operational impact.
