We asked Chatgpt to make a forecast on who will be elected to the next conclave. The choice made by artificial intelligence for the successor of Pope Francis fell on an Italian cardinal. For this test we used the chatgtp model – 4o. The results, as always, must be taken carefully.
After the death of Pope Francis, a transition phase began in the church. It is a period that provides for Very precise steps. The observation of the death, the pontiff’s funeral, the conclave and then after the white smoke the election of the new Pope. 15 days from the death of the pontiff. Yet, as always, speculations have already begun on who Pope Francis’ successor can be.
The question is simple then. Who will be the next Pope? All the Vaticanists of the most important newspapers are trying to understand that in what direction the church will go with the conclave. We asked it to the artificial intelligence of Chatgpt, specifically to the chatgp-4o model.
Of course, as always we invite you to Take the results calmly and attention. Chatgpt processes all the information at his disposal but then always leaves room for doubts. The first thing that tells us is: “The story of the Conclavi has shown that the papal election can reserve surprises”.

As always, everything that Chatgpt says must be read carefully. Also in this case. The chatbot developed by Openai in fact also speaks of the fact that Parolin is Italian: “After two non -Italian popes (Benedict XVI German and Francesco Argentine), some cardinals could push for a return to an Italian figure, as long as he has a global breath”.
Chatgpt forgets that theList of non -Italian popes It is a little longer, given that in addition to Pope Francis And Pope Benedict XVI We must also add to the list Pope John Paul IIaka Karol Wojtyła.
