AI doom movement

A new analysis argues the Catholic Church has become the most formidable opponent of the 'AI doom' movement — the belief that artificial intelligence poses an existential threat to humanity. According to the piece, the Church's institutional weight, moral authority and theological framework give it unique power to challenge secular AI-safety narratives and shape how societies govern emerging technology.

A Wall Street Journal opinion piece argues that resistance to artificial intelligence is ultimately doomed to fail, echoing arguments that technological adoption throughout history has overwhelmed movements seeking to halt it. The piece frames opponents of AI as modern-day Luddites and suggests AI will continue spreading across industries despite calls to slow it down.
