NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious. Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm. For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

Pope Leo XIV: Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word is strong, I know, but deliberately chosen. AI now demands to be disarmed, freed from logics that turn it into an instrument of domination, exclusion, and death. Like nuclear energy, it must be at the service of all and of the common good.

Dr. E. Michael Jones explains his take on the recent encyclical issued by Pope Leo XIV. While he gives the Pope credit for addressing the real issue of artificial intelligence, he also criticizes the document for failing to identify the group controlling it. “The common good is an alien concept to these people” [the Jews].

Reporter: “In a few days, Pope Leo is going to release his encyclical on artificial intelligence. What influence, if any, do you see the Pope’s guidance on AI having to broader society?” VP JD Vance: “I think when the Pope issues an encyclical on artificial intelligence, it’s going to have some influence... and I’m sure it will contain a lot of insights, some of which I’ll probably agree with, some of which I may not. But I think that it’s going to be a very, very important document.”
