Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction—it’s reshaping everything from the way we work to how we connect with each other. Amid this upheaval, the Catholic Church has sounded a clear warning: alongside AI’s promise, there lurks a “shadow of evil” that demands our collective attention. In January 2025, the Vatican’s landmark note, Antiqua et Nova: Note on the Relationship Between Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence, reiterated that while AI can be a powerful tool, it must never eclipse human dignity or moral responsibility.

As the cardinals prepare to elect the new pope, they will be acutely aware of the myriad challenges currently confronting the Catholic Church. Among these is the need for unity amid rising internal divisions and external pressures. The legacy of Pope Francis has been one of outreach and reform, and the new pope will likely be tasked with continuing these efforts.

The notion of forbidden fruit comes from the Bible, where Adam and Eve were told to eat from all trees of the Garden of Eden except from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, for it is dangerous and will lead to death. But when tempted by the devil, portraying it as good, delightful and desirable, they couldn’t resist. The “forbidden fruit effect” describes how something becomes more desirable when it’s restricted or unavailable. This could be attributed to all spheres of human life.
