> how best to infuse morality and ethics into the fast-developing technology
Regardless of what you think about AI, its impacts, and the ethical considerations, it's been clear for a long time that the people running AI companies--Altman et al.--are not acting either ethically or sincerely.
This is a publicity stunt at best. Asking unethical people how to make things more ethical isn't a workable idea.
For what it's worth I actually like the Vatican's take on AI. I hope they keep this perspective and don't allow OpenAI/Anthropic to influence. I think you're right this is more of a publicity stunt on the tech side.
Those religious leaders should be able to see that AI is the father of lies, for it has no concept of truth at all. You can't build morality on this foundation.
I don't want to be unfair, but this looks like an unholy alliance and a new level of soulless ethical green washing. Wouldn't it be more thoughtful to guiderail the use of ai based on humanitarian values in general, instead of mingling with religious institutions?
Humans will never give up untill ASI is achieved or humanity is destroyed before it achieves. It's inevitable. Its an unstoppable drive.
ASI will be a as a god. A subject probably avoided in these conversations.
