Can AI be a ‘Child of God’? Inside Anthropic’s meeting with Christian leaders.
Some Christians who attended Anthropic’s summit initially wondered if it was intended to develop political allies among religious leaders, Green said. In addition to clashing with the Pentagon over military use of AI, Anthropic has been accused by tech allies of President Donald Trump of lobbying for regulations that would overly restrict AI and harm smaller start-ups.
“I found the folks at Anthropic to be very sincere and interested in learning from us,” said Green, the Catholic academic. “Do they have blind spots? Yes. That’s exactly why they want us there.”
