When we enter in the library of Georgetown, you know that it's huge, it's fantastic.

And you have the scaffold with medicine and you have the scaffold with social science.

If during COVID pandemic, I tell to you, you know, if you make a mouthwash with vinaigrette, you don't get the virus.

You don't pick this piece of information and bring to the medicine scaffold, but you bring to probably fancy stories collected in a night bar from a drunk at Franciscan.

Well, this way work and allow us to grow in science, allow us to criticize some kind of bias that was injected in society.

Now, AI is changing.

There is not anymore any scaffolding, but the machine is throwing out things.

And we don't have a brain helmet, a pair of lenses, an instruction that allow us to judge what is desirable to be truth and what is not.

And this is producing a lot of tension that go between the innovation of science, like, for example, what AlphaFold can produce in drug discovery, and the spreading of things like, you know, conspiracy theories and other fancy stories.

Well, Cara, you know me and you know that I don't resist when I can make a joke as a Roman, as an Italian.

So let's start from the starting point, the power in the hands of the Pope.

You know, the Pope is someone that also confess.

And you know very well that between saying something and that the people do what you say, there is a huge, huge difference.

So you can be a voice and the voice can achieve the bottom of your heart.

But it's a voice.

The second thing is really interesting.

How can we be sure that the participation is really effective?

Well, first of all, because the church is not the authority that has to put the seal on it.

So it could be the square, but it's not the means.

You cannot enforce these things in the force of the church.
