What happened
The Catholic Church released a sweeping 42,000-word statement on artificial intelligence — and it turns out major tech companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, and an AI company called Anthropic all had a hand in shaping it. The Pope even used language about AI that mirrors Anthropic's own talking points almost word for word.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
This is the first time a major world religion has issued something this formal and this detailed about AI. The Pope warned that AI could displace millions of workers on a scale that would be a moral crisis for humanity. The Church and an AI company are now officially partnering to help guide where this technology goes next.
Takeaway
When the Pope and Silicon Valley start co-writing documents together, you know AI has stopped being just a tech story.
