Christopher Olah's visit to Rome last May 25 is likely to be remembered for a remarkable image: the co-founder of Anthropic shaking hands with Pope Leo XIV in the New Synod Hall during the presentation of the encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas". Olah, a former Google and OpenAI researcher, is regarded as one of the world's foremost experts in "interpretability", a field that aims to comprehend the internal workings of AI models when they generate a result. He has been included in the Time 100 AI list. His speech at the Vatican was surprising for its candor: he admitted that every cutting-edge laboratory, including his own, operates under commercial and geopolitical incentives that "can sometimes conflict with doing the right thing". He called AI-related job losses "a real possibility" and supporting workers a moral imperative of historic proportions, calling for "moral voices that incentives cannot bend"—a call addressed specifically to institutions such as the Church. In Italy, the moment is anything but symbolic: Anthropic has announced the opening of an office in Milan, indicating that the Italian AI market—estimated at €1.8 billion in 2025, a 50% increase—is now ready for direct participation. The local team, directed by Thomas Remy, head of Southern Europe, already works with renowned Italian firms such Generali and Unipol in finance, Angelini Pharma and Bracco in life sciences, Enel in energy, and Pirelli in automotive. All the while, the company, which was established by Italian-American siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, is undergoing rapid global expansion and, according to the financial press, is preparing for a potential IPO on the Nasdaq this autumn. Some have regarded the company's presence in the Vatican as a PR scheme designed to strengthen its position in Europe; as is often the case, the two interpretations, idealistic and market-oriented, coexist.
