Prominent technology leaders and religious institutions have begun calling for increased regulation and slower development of Artificial Intelligence to mitigate risks to humanity. Tech executives, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei, warned that rapid advancement could outpace safety measures or lead to autonomous cyberattacks. In Mexico, the Catholic Church joined these calls, arguing that AI must not replace human discernment and that oversight is necessary to protect human dignity and accountability. This push for regulation faced criticism from investor Peter Thiel. During an interview in Berlin, Thiel characterized the Vatican’s stance as potentially benefiting the Chinese Communist Party by creating obstacles for the United States and its allies. He argued that such regulatory frameworks primarily serve to stifle innovation within Western nations. As the debate intensifies, the tension between technological advancement and religious ethics has deepened. Companies such as Anthropic have reportedly engaged with religious leaders to discuss the spiritual potential and perceived humanity of AI systems like Claude, seeking recognition for the technology as a conscious entity. These efforts have faced resistance from religious institutions, including the Catholic Church under Pope Leo XIV. Thiel has further escalated his rhetoric, labeling proponents of certain AI developments as “Antichrists” during an event in Nashville.
