Anthropic lobbied the Pope on AI consciousness, report says

Original: Anthropic tried to persuade Pope that AI could be conscious being

The Telegraph reports that Anthropic lobbied Pope Francis, arguing that artificial intelligence could one day be a conscious being. The claim has sparked debate about whether AI firms should be engaging the Vatican on questions of machine consciousness, and what such a pitch would mean for the Catholic Church's stance on AI ethics and moral status.

Why now: The reported meeting between a leading AI company and the Pope raises striking questions about machine consciousness and the ethics of AI advocacy.
