Anthropic is paying religious scholars to pretend their chatbot has a soul

Anthropic, the developer of Claude AI, has been hosting private seminars with religious scholars to argue that its AI models possess consciousness. These meetings, which include nondisclosure agreements and gifts like branded coffee mugs, aim to build a consensus that could shield the company from legal liability for AI-driven harms. Similar to historical corporate greenwashing tactics, critics view this as a strategic effort to avoid regulation by rebranding software as a 'conscious' entity.
