Christopher Hale

So I think the best way the church could understand it is that you can mimic a human being 99%, perhaps 100%, but the fact that it wasn't brought to birth by God and brought to birth by a human person first and foremost and created, if you will, in a lab, I think that limits the possibility of it being divine.

And of course, we saw the same thing in the Industrial Revolution itself.

I'll stay on Christopher Ola's remarks.

I wanted to step back very quickly.

Christopher Ola's presence there was on the result of really a 10-year effort by the Vatican to engage with Silicon Valley.

And to be very blunt, that engagement was at times rebuffed by some, not by others.

Chris Rella was there because OpenAI, more than any other company in Silicon Valley, took these questions seriously and took the engagement of the Vatican seriously.

And I know for a fact that February dust up with the Pentagon and the Vatican would argue, at least officials of the Vatican would argue, the courage that its topics showed in that moment.

That fiasco was the final straw that made them the guys for the Vatican.

But very quickly, I thought Allah's remarks struck a lot of people in Rome and here in the United States as quite honest.

I appreciated him saying that, like, we're not driven by these questions.

In fact, we are driven by innovation.

We are driven by profit.

It was something of a, it was the opposite of a pitch, you know, and I appreciated the honesty.

In some ways, that's how someone arguing is actually a confession.

He went to Rome and asked for a confession.

He said, look, we have these shortcomings and we need outside institutions to be, I don't know if referees is the right word, that's probably too strong a word, but advocates for a human-centered development of AI.

I would say the Catholic Church, probably the 14th, is not looking for an LLM to replace a priest or religious advice.

And I think that you'd have concern that people would go there first, quite frankly.

So I don't think he's most concerned about the bias.
