Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah calls for artificial intelligence development to be guided by institutions beyond large technology companies and governments. Speaking at events reported by multiple outlets, Olah argues that AI is concentrated in a small number of wealthy countries and that the benefits of AI should be shared more globally. He says AI cannot be left solely to tech firms, pointing to the need for outside scrutiny and broader participation in ethical decision-making. Several reports note that Olah welcomed engagement by the Church on AI issues, describing the ethical questions raised by AI as extending beyond engineering concerns. The comments are linked in one outlet to Olah’s participation in the presentation of Pope Leo’s first encyclical, where he discussed challenges posed by artificial intelligence and the role that religious leaders and civil society can play in oversight. Other coverage emphasizes the international dimension of his message, including the risks that global power imbalances could shape how AI is developed and deployed. Across the reports, the core theme is increased external oversight involving diverse stakeholders to help shape how AI is governed and used.
