OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said attributing religious power to AI models is a "real safety issue," according to Techub News, citing The Decoder. His remarks came after reports about Anthropic meeting with religious thinkers and after statements on AI from Pope Leo XIV. The item also noted that Altman had spoken in 2024 about building "magic intelligence in the sky" and said he felt his work in AI was "on the side of the angels." The comments add to a wider discussion about how AI is framed in public life, particularly when technological systems are described in terms that borrow from religion or moral authority. The report did not provide more detail beyond Altman's warning and the context surrounding it.
