Anthropic reportedly lobbied Pope on AI consciousness

Original: Anthropic tried to persuade Pope that AI could be conscious being

The Telegraph reports that Anthropic sought to persuade the Pope that artificial intelligence could be a conscious being. The claim, that the AI company lobbied the Vatican directly on the question of machine consciousness, is drawing attention as a striking example of AI firms engaging religious authorities on the moral status of their technology.

Why now: The reported lobbying of the Pope on AI consciousness raises striking questions about AI firms' ambitions and the Vatican's influence on technology ethics.
