I was born into a sternly Presbyterian culture. Politically, I’m more Orange than Donald Trump’s skin tone. But today I am on my knees giving thanks to the Pope. He has produced the most powerful political document of the year, taking on the greatest challenge of our times. His first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, deals with the changes which will be wrought to all our lives by artificial intelligence in the months and years ahead. AI will transform our economies and societies massively and irrevocably; it will change what it means to be human; it may even mark the end of humanity itself. If it takes the Pope to alert us to this revolution then perhaps the Reformation wasn’t such a good idea after all. ✍️ Michael Gove Article | spectator.com/article/the-po…

Claude's Constitution is now an audiobook, read by two of its authors, Amanda Askell and Joe Carlsmith. It includes a Q&A on the writing process, the philosophies that shaped the document, and how it might change as models become more capable. Listen at anthropic.com/constitution

The questions posed by AI are bigger than the AI community. We urgently need the world – religions, civil society, academics, governments – to participate in creating a positive outcome. I'm glad the Catholic Church is engaging, and honored to speak at the presentation.
Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, on preserving the human person in the age of artificial intelligence, will be released on May 25. A presentation event with the Pope and various speakers is scheduled for the same day at the Vatican. vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…

Anthropic is going to the Vatican. On Monday, Chris Olah, Anthropic’s lead on “interpreting” AI, will stand beside Pope Leo XIV as he delivers his first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” concerning “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.” The timing is important: Leo’s letter arrives on the 135th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, the Catholic Church’s response to the first industrial revolution. Today, @BradyDale examines how Anthropic is helping the pope reassure his flock that AI won’t steal their jobs... and/or souls. Full story 👇

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.
