Anthropic,OpenAI meet religious leaders to discuss faith and AI

Sounds like a status update from a late-stage game of Civilisation haha

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?

> 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.

That faith and ethics can be so easily conflated points to a failure of Western post-enlightenment intellectual leadership.

On the other hand, perhaps this is just responsibility laundering on behalf of the tech orgs.

So it seems that the AI companies now promise us with "The Gospel of Technological Prosperity".

Arms dealer asks Pope how to make bullets more ethical because the guns are getting dangerous.

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.

Sky daddy, meet cloud daddy.

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.
