A leading figure and co-founder of the technology company Anthropic, billionaire Christopher Olah, has been secretly holding private meetings and dinners with theologians and religious scholars from around the world. These gatherings, held in expensive restaurants, were organized over several months under strict confidentiality. Olah reportedly presented a startling claim to these religious leaders: that Anthropic’s AI model possesses consciousness. The aim of these discussions remains unclear, but suggests a deliberate effort to engage with religious perspectives on advanced artificial intelligence. The meetings involved figures from various faiths and theological backgrounds. This move highlights the growing intersection of technology and spirituality as AI systems become increasingly sophisticated.
