Anthropic and OpenAI sit down with religious leaders to seek ethical advice

Anthropic and OpenAI joined religious leaders in New York for the first Faith-AI Covenant roundtable on AI ethics.

The Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities says more sessions are planned in other cities to help shape shared ethical standards for AI.

Supporters see the talks as a way to build public trust and safety norms for powerful AI systems.

Critics argue the meetings are a PR exercise that distracts from stronger regulation and accountability.
