The Vatican is moving quickly to establish digital defenses for the artificial intelligence era, positioning itself as a global arbitrator of truth. The Holy See has implemented formal AI guidelines and monitoring structures inside Vatican City, and issued one of the world's first state-level AI frameworks. The guidelines state that AI must never overtake or replace human beings and must serve human dignity. Church leaders have warned about a "crisis of truth" driven by AI content. The Vatican is also developing a "truth engine" to authenticate information or arbitrate reality. Despite this, there is speculation that the Vatican could create a truth engine to verify information.
