Pope Leo and Anthropic clash over whether AI has a soul
Original: Does AI have a soul? Pope Leo and Anthropic clash.
Pope Leo and AI company Anthropic are at odds over the question of whether artificial intelligence can have a soul, according to a MarketWatch report. The dispute touches on a debate the Catholic Church has increasingly engaged with as AI systems grow more capable, raising theological and ethical questions about machine consciousness and human uniqueness.
Why now: A religious leader publicly weighing in on AI consciousness is an unusual and attention-grabbing clash between faith and the tech industry.
