May God rest his soul.»
The White House X account issued a post that read, «Rest in Peace, Pope Francis.»

The UK’s King Charles III said that he and his wife were very sad to hear about the pope’s death.
«My wife and I were most deeply saddened to learn of the death of Pope Francis. Our heavy hearts have been somewhat eased, however, to know that His Holiness was able to share an Easter Greeting with the Church and the world he served with such devotion throughout his life and ministry,» the king said in his message.
«His Holiness will be remembered for his compassion, his concern for the unity of the Church and for his tireless commitment to the common causes of all people of faith, and to those of goodwill who work for the benefit of others. His belief that care for Creation is an existential expression of faith in God resounded with so many across the world. Through his work and care for both people and planet, he profoundly touched the lives of so many.
«The Queen and I remember with particular affection our meetings with His Holiness over the years and we were greatly moved to have been able to visit him earlier in the month. We send our most heartfelt condolences and profound sympathy to the Church he served with such resolve and to the countless people around the world who, inspired by his life, will be mourning the devastating loss of this faithful follower of Jesus Christ.»

Narenda Modi, prime minister of India, posted on X: «Deeply pained by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. In this hour of grief and remembrance, my heartfelt condolences to the global Catholic community. Pope Francis will always be remembered as a beacon of compassion, humility and spiritual courage by millions across the world. From a young age, he devoted himself towards realising the ideals of Lord Christ. He diligently served the poor and downtrodden. For those who were suffering, he ignited a spirit of hope.
«I fondly recall my meetings with him and was greatly inspired by his commitment to inclusive and all-round development. His affection for the people of India will always be cherished. May his soul find eternal peace in God’s embrace,» Modi added.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog also offered condolences, both in a post on X, and while speaking at an event alongside U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Monday.
«I send my deepest condolences to the Christian world and especially the Christian communities in Israel – the Holy Land – on the loss of their great spiritual father, His Holiness Pope Francis. A man of deep faith and boundless compassion, he dedicated his life to uplifting the poor and calling for peace in a troubled world. He rightly saw great importance in fostering strong ties with the Jewish world and in advancing interfaith dialogue as a path toward greater understanding and mutual respect,» Herzog declared in the post.
«I truly hope that his prayers for peace in the Middle East and for the safe return of the hostages will soon be answered. May his memory continue to inspire acts of kindness, unity, and hope.»
French President Emmanuel Macron declared in a tweet, «From Buenos Aires to Rome, Pope Francis wanted the Church to bring joy and hope to the poorest. To unite people with one another and with nature. May this hope be reborn endlessly beyond him. To all Catholics, to a grieving world, my wife and I send our thoughts.»

EXCLUSIVE: Federal authorities arrested a staff member of a clinic in Ontario, California, for allegedly interfering with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest, while another remains at large.
Earlier this month, Honduran national Denis Guillen-Solis, a landscaper, allegedly left on foot to evade law enforcement and went inside the Ontario Advanced Surgical Center, where he was not a patient.
«This story is another example of a false narrative peddled by irresponsible members of the media in furtherance of a political agenda to delegitimize federal agents. The illegal alien arrested inside the medical center was not a patient and was not in any way affiliated with that location.

Cómo funciona Aeneas, la inteligencia artificial que reconstruye inscripciones romanas perdidas en piedra

La arqueología suele evocar imágenes de excavaciones silenciosas y hallazgos cubiertos de polvo que solo unos pocos expertos pueden descifrar. Sin embargo, el avance de nuevas tecnologías está transformando este universo milenario, dando un giro inesperado a la forma en que reconstruimos nuestro pasado. La inteligencia artificial ya no es solo terreno de ingenieros y programadores: ahora se convierte en una aliada esencial para quienes exploran los misterios del Imperio Romano.
Descubrir una losa antigua, grabada con palabras casi desvanecidas por el tiempo, y que una máquina revele en segundos un mensaje que permaneció oculto durante siglos, que hasta hace poco parecía ciencia ficción. Sin embargo, ahora es una realidad gracias a Aeneas, un software de inteligencia artificial que redefine la reconstrucción de inscripciones romanas.
Esta herramienta permite restaurar textos latinos fragmentados y aporta datos inéditos sobre su origen y datación. El desarrollo, realizado por un equipo internacional dirigido por Thea Sommerschield de la Universidad de Nottingham, junto a Google DeepMind, ya marca un hito en la aplicación de tecnologías emergentes al estudio del patrimonio histórico, según publicó The Art Newspaper.
Con este avance, el pasado cobra otra dimensión: las voces de quienes escribieron en piedra hace siglos vuelven a ser audibles, y detalles que parecían perdidos resurgen gracias a la inteligencia artificial. Así, la frontera entre historia y tecnología se borra, y se abre un universo de posibilidades para comprender cómo vivían, pensaban y se comunicaban los antiguos romanos.

Cada año, los arqueólogos encuentran aproximadamente 1.500 inscripciones latinas en edificios, artefactos y restos del mundo romano. Muchas llegan incompletas, con daños por roturas o erosión, lo que dificulta la tarea de reconstruir su contenido y comprender su contexto original.
Tradicionalmente, estas restauraciones exigen un profundo conocimiento del latín y la comparación meticulosa con cientos de textos similares. Esta labor es lenta y compleja, porque supone analizar una vasta colección de ejemplos para inferir las palabras y frases perdidas.
“Estos textos suelen estar dañados y normalmente no sabemos dónde ni cuándo fueron escritos”, explicó Sommerschield, quien lo comparó con “resolver un gigantesco rompecabezas, solo que este tiene decenas de miles de piezas más de lo habitual y el 90% de ellas faltan, porque eso es todo lo que ha sobrevivido a lo largo de los siglos”.

Frente a este escenario, Aeneas es la primera herramienta de inteligencia artificial creada para contextualizar inscripciones antiguas. Su nombre rinde homenaje al héroe de la mitología grecorromana y el sistema se apoya en una base de datos de 176.861 inscripciones latinas, que abarcan desde el siglo VII a.C. hasta el siglo VIII d.C. recogidas desde la antigua Britania romana hasta Mesopotamia.
La tecnología de Aeneas puede predecir el texto perdido de una inscripción incluso cuando se desconoce la longitud de la sección faltante, sugerir el lugar probable de origen del texto, identificar inscripciones similares y establecer un rango aproximado para su creación, en ocasiones con una precisión de solo trece años. Estas capacidades, basadas en la comparación automática con la enorme base de datos del sistema, agilizan y mejoran el proceso de reconstrucción textual, posibilitando reconstrucciones más fundamentadas y rápidas.
Sommerschield, líder del proyecto, resaltó: “Aeneas ayuda a los historiadores a interpretar, atribuir y restaurar textos latinos fragmentarios”. La investigadora precisó que el objetivo no es reemplazar a los expertos, sino proporcionarles un respaldo tecnológico que optimice su labor, ampliando así el alcance de sus investigaciones y el análisis de documentos históricos.
Las primeras pruebas de Aeneas incluyeron inscripciones emblemáticas. Entre ellas, la Res Gestae Divi Augusti, grabada en el Templo de Roma y Augusto en Ankara, Turquía. Esta inscripción sigue siendo objeto de debate en cuanto a su datación exacta, por lo que ofrecía un escenario ideal para testar el sistema.

Aeneas asignó fechas a la Res Gestae que coincidieron con las estimaciones de los historiadores y con inscripciones comparables, demostrando así su capacidad para contextualizar textos de extrema complejidad.
En Mainz, Alemania, el sistema también fue probado con una inscripción de un altar votivo, estimando correctamente su fecha en torno al año 214 d.C., identificándola como propia de la provincia romana de Germania Superior y proponiendo lecturas para las partes dañadas del texto. Sommerschield calificó estos logros como “momentos asombrosos” para el grupo de investigación.
Estos resultados no solo validan la precisión de la herramienta, sino que permiten nuevas posibilidades para el estudio de inscripciones menos conocidas, o en peor estado de preservación. El desarrollo y las pruebas de Aeneas recibieron reconocimiento en la revista Nature, lo que subraya su relevancia científica y abre la puerta a aplicaciones más ambiciosas en museos y yacimientos arqueológicos.
Sommerschield enfatizó que la llegada de este avance no desplaza la labor tradicional de los historiadores, sino que representa una oportunidad para potenciarla. La investigadora imagina un futuro en el que la colaboración entre expertos y sistemas como Aeneas acelere la comprensión de textos antiguos y enriquezca la visión sobre el pasado romano.
