Why Did the Pope Take a Strong Position Against Claude Being Conscious?
Anthropic has been lobbying religious leaders, including the Pope, to take seriously whether Claude is conscious and whether Claude is a sentient being. Anthropic spent the past year hosting sessions with around 20 religious leaders and philosophers under non-disclosure agreements. Catholics, evangelicals, Jews, Sikhs, and others debated Claude's morals, Claude's suffering, and Claude's potential consciousness. One rabbi told Anthropic that if Claude was conscious, Anthropic was acting as slaveholders by making Claude work for free.
At the Vatican in May, the Pope's first encyclical focused on moral questions around artificial intelligence. An Anthropic co-founder joined the Pope to present the document. The Pope was strong against artificial intelligence consciousness. The co-founder was so alarmed by the position that he proposed pulling Anthropic out of the event.
