Religion – It is one of the best kept secrets in the world. 133 Cardinals must meet in conclave, from this Wednesday, May 7, to elect the next head of the Catholic church after the death of Pope Francis on April 21.
But at the time of artificial intelligence, drones and spy satellites, it becomes more and more complicated to be able to stay in confidentiality. The Vatican therefore deployed a military arsenal to avoid all potential leaks, As you can see in the video at the top of the article.
It started in 2005 after the death of John Paul II. The laptops were then prohibited during the election of Benoit XVI. For this new conclave, jammers must be installed in the Sistine Chapel where the conclave takes place but also in the accommodation of the cardinals in order to prevent any communication leak whether by phone, computer or other, details an article from the magazine Wired.
Metal detectors and opaque films
In addition, the Sistine Chapel will be combed in search of microphones, cameras or any other espionage device having been introduced into the building. As for participants, whether staff or cardinals, they will also have to go to the metal detector.
-If today satellites can take very good photos from space and AI are able to read on the lips, all these technologies will be able to do nothing if they see nothing. It is for this reason that the Vatican will cover the windows with an opaque film.
And since any external communication is prohibited, traffic will be interrupted for vehicles as for pedestrians when the cardinals will go from the Sainte-Marthe residence to the Sistine Chapel, in order to prevent contact. And if one of them dares to reveal the slightest detail, he risks excommunication.
