Summary
Pope Leo XIV issued a 42,300-word open letter to 1.4 billion Catholics calling for protections against the rise of artificial intelligence. The letter was joined by Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, as the Pope urged corporate executives and government regulators to address AI risks. The article contrasts the Pope's spiritual warnings with Silicon Valley's technologists who pursue their own quasi-spiritual vision through AI development, highlighting a tension between religious and technological worldviews.
