[REPORT] More Human in Times of Ever More Artificial: A New Window of Opportunity for Mediating Vatican Diplomacy?
![[REPORT] More Human in Times of Ever More Artificial: A New Window of Opportunity for Mediating Vatican Diplomacy?](https://i0.wp.com/thenewglobalorder.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ChatGPT-Image-29.-Mai-2026-22_18_49.png?fit=1086%2C1448&ssl=1&resize=384%2C216)
As artificial intelligence increasingly transforms societies, economies, and political systems, questions of ethics, human dignity, and social cohesion gain renewed importance. This paper explores the potential role of Vatican diplomacy in addressing these challenges. Drawing on Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” (2026), it argues that the Holy See represents a unique source of moral authority and soft power in a rapidly changing world. Unlike actors relying on military or economic influence, Vatican diplomacy promotes dialogue, mediation, and human-centered development. In an age shaped by competing technological futures, it may help foster alternative narratives grounded in solidarity, peace, and human dignity.

[Report] A Silent Arms Race? North Africa and the Middle East: Recent Military Acquisitions

Here’s a concise excerpt based on your text:
The Middle East and North Africa remain among the world’s largest arms-importing regions, driven by geopolitical tensions, proxy conflicts, and rapid military modernization. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Morocco, and Egypt are expanding their defense capabilities through advanced aircraft, drones, missile systems, and strategic partnerships with powers including the United States, France, China, and Russia. At the same time, regional actors are increasingly investing in domestic defense industries and drone technologies, reshaping modern warfare across conflicts in Libya, Yemen, Syria, and beyond. The proliferation of unmanned systems, combined with illicit arms transfers and ongoing rivalries, continues to intensify instability throughout the region.
Leapfrogging into the Dark: Artificial Intelligence and the Limits of Developmental Transcendence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is recognised as a general-purpose technology capable of compressing developmental trajectories, transcending historical constraints, and catalysing broad-based economic progress in the Global South. In Africa particularly, an increasingly prominent Promethean discourse imagines AI as possessing a uniquely elastic and scalar capacity for cross-sectoral integration, capable of generating developmental gains across healthcare, education, agriculture, finance, and public administration; the dream, in its fullest iteration, being of a continent that inherits abundance without enduring the long, grinding ordeal of industrialisation that was, in any case, never fully permitted to run its course. In their more modest expression, these visions are not unsubstantiated – cases of AI-assisted healthcare delivery in Kenya and AI-enabled education services in Rwanda, inter alia, lend credence to AI’s elasticity. Yet, given the scale of capital investment and depths of institutional capacity required for their realisation, the conditions underpinning these claims nevertheless warrant closer examination.

FAQs
TNGO is an international, independent, and nonprofit think tank providing free in-depth analyses about international affairs. You can read more about our editorial staff here.
TNGO was born out of the necessity to provide unbiased analyses of international political phenomena to the widest audience possible. We have three distinguishing features:
1. Independent: TNGO is based on voluntary contributions and does not accept funding from external sources. Our goal is to write impartial analyses to educate the general public.
2. International: TNGO is one of the few think tanks to publish contents in four languages with an international team of editors.
3. Nonprofit: TNGO does not generate profits and does not share dividends. All our revenues and donations (if any) are immediately re-invested in the think tank.
We at TNGO try to be as accessible as possible. For this reason, we now publish contents in four languages (English, Italian, Spanish, French) and we are planning to feature contents in other languages too.
Of course. We are always looking for new contributors that share our vision of journalism to join TNGO.
