Inside the Unlikely Vatican-Anthropic Relationship That's Reshaping the AI Ethics Debate
Pope Leo XIV's new encyclical on AI, set to be released May 25, will be released with Chris Olah, a co-founder of Anthropic at his side.
According to Brian Green, director, technology ethics, in previous meetings between religious representatives and Anthropic, the Anthropic staff Green said, “became curious as to whether wisdom traditions such as Catholic ethics, Christian ethics or religious ethics more broadly might have some insights that could help them to think about how to develop their AI model Claude into acting better and maintaining its reliably ethical way of behavior.”
