... as I've, I've read your writing.

Virginia DignumGUEST
So, um, where, where I stand and where I come from, indeed it's, is, is a long story again.

Virginia DignumGUEST
I think that at this moment, the most, uh, complex or maybe the most confusing part of it all is the, the concept itself.

Virginia DignumGUEST
It doesn't really mean, uh, becomes a empty signifier, uh, becomes something like, uh, a couple of years ago, everybody was talking about digitalization, and everything was the digital and so on.

So maybe we can start by getting your reaction to the document, the partnership between Vatican and Anthropic, and then we can kinda get into the, the specific pieces of it.

Virginia DignumGUEST
Maybe starting a little bit before that, I wrote the book because exactly I was getting a bit fed up with the way that AI has been explained and has been sent down our throats by all kinds of ways.

Virginia DignumGUEST
And I thought there was time to explain things a bit in a different way and also putting a couple of notes.

Virginia DignumGUEST
Maybe not completely paradox, but a kind of challenges and controversies highlighting those.

Virginia DignumGUEST
So it starts indeed with the idea that the more AI can do, the more we'll see what exactly AI is not doing yet.

Virginia DignumGUEST
There is a old definition of AI, which already from the 70s, I believe, which says that AI is what AI cannot do yet.

Virginia DignumGUEST
And that means exactly once we solve the challenge, then it becomes just computing.
