Anthropic’s alliance with pope on AI harms: all in good faith or ‘Vatican-washing?’
2026-05-30 · AI (artificial intelligence) | The Guardian
Anthropic's CEO cozy up to the Pope in what experts call 'Vatican-washing' — using the Holy See's moral authority as a PR shield while dodging actual accountability. Nothing says 'we take AI harms seriously' like a photo op with the pontiff instead of, you know, fixing the harms. At least the Vatican gets to feel tech-savvy while Anthropic gets divine absolution for its safety theater.
