Anthropic co-founder shares AI remarks at Vatican's Magnifica Humanitas presentation

Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah delivered remarks at the presentation of Magnifica Humanitas, arguing that the questions AI raises extend beyond the AI research community.

He said outside voices, including religions, civil society, academics, and governments, are needed to help steer the technology toward a positive outcome, and he praised the Church for setting an example.

The excerpt also describes AI systems as grown rather than engineered, and names three questions where the Church's voice is especially needed, starting with duty to the global poor.
