During a recent event at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV presented a significant letter on artificial intelligence (AI) alongside Chris Olah, co-founder of Anthropic. This collaboration led to humorous online speculation that the Pope might be joining Anthropic, a leading AI startup known for its focus on safety and ethics in AI development. In their speeches, both figures warned about the potential dangers of AI, with Olah outlining three key areas where the Vatican's guidance is essential: supporting those displaced by AI, ensuring the well-being of users, and investigating the inner workings of AI models, which he suggested might show signs of consciousness. The internet's jokes about the Pope's supposed hiring reflect the growing intersection of technology and ethics, as tech giants like Amazon and Google also seek closer ties with the Vatican on AI matters. Despite the memes, Anthropic confirmed that the Pope is not actually joining their team.
