According to the Associated Press at ABC News, representatives from tech companies including Anthropic and OpenAI met last week with faith leaders in New York for the inaugural “Faith-AI Covenant” roundtable, organized by the Geneva-based Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities. The meeting brought together representatives from multiple traditions, including the Hindu Temple Society of North America, the Baha’i International Community, The Sikh Coalition, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Baroness Joanna Shields, a partner in the initiative, told the AP, “Regulation can’t keep up with this,” and said the group aims toward an eventual “set of norms or principles.” The AP reports the roundtable is expected to be the first of several events planned for cities including Beijing, Nairobi, and Abu Dhabi.
