The Pope weighed in on AI in his first encyclical on May 24. But before that, Anthropic, the creator of Claude AI, invited 15 Christian scholars and theologians to its headquarters in California to talk about faith and AI. One of those who was invited was Meghan Sullivan, a Roman Catholic who teaches philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. I spoke with her a week ago about that meeting.
The main idea she and the others emphasized at the meeting was the same thing the Pope talked about: human dignity has to be the bedrock of AI, as it should be for any new technology.
“Christian teaching about human dignity is paramount” when it comes to AI, she said. “That’s what makes life unique. And it is never more relevant than right now . . . faith groups don’t have an option to sit this one out."
Read more about her thoughts about that meeting, and about faith
and AI, in my recent column in the Free Press.
