Pope to present AI document with Anthropic co-founder

Pope Leo is preparing his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, focused on protecting human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. The official presentation is set for May 25 at the Vatican.
The event will feature Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, highlighting the company’s growing role in the global ethics dialogue. Following partnerships like the one with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Anthropic is now engaging with the highest levels of church leadership.
The Pope plans to address workers’ rights and the use of AI in military contexts. The Vatican urges against panic but insists on strict regulation, prioritizing human well-being over technological progress.
