Critics Review
The first attempt for a very significant global public figure to make the moral case for how we should think about AI, bringing with him hundreds of millions of Catholics and articulating things that resonate, not just with Christians, but with many, many people… the strongest way of looking at AI I’ve seen. * Rory Stewart, former cabinet minister and co-host of Britain’s biggest podcast, The Rest Is Politics *
Presents a remarkable case for placing moral concerns, and not profit, or competitive advantage, or efficiency, at the center of any discussion of artificial intelligence. * The New Yorker *
How grateful I am to this leader of kindness for explaining to us—and even warning us—what it means to be human, not only now but also for future generations. * Elizabeth Strout, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist *
