A group of Catholic moral theologians and ethicists have filed an amicus curiae (\u201cfriend of the court\u201d) brief in federal court in support of Anthropic<\/a>, an American artificial intelligence (AI) company that is suing the Department of Defense over the Pentagon\u2019s insistence that it should be free to use Anthropic\u2019s AI products without restriction, including for mass surveillance and autonomous weaponry.<\/p>\n

Anthropic, creator of the widely adopted AI assistant Claude<\/a>, ran afoul of the Pentagon\u2019s leadership late last month when its CEO, Dario Amodei, told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the company refused<\/a> \u201cin good conscience\u201d to allow Claude to be used specifically for those purposes.<\/p>\n

In addition to Anthropic subsequently losing a $200 million contract with the Defense Department, Hegseth announced Anthropic would be designated a \u201csupply chain risk\u201d \u2014 a first for an American company. President Donald Trump has directed all government agencies to halt the use of Anthropic\u2019s products within six months. Fearing financial annihilation, Anthropic on March 9 filed two lawsuits<\/a> against the Department of Defense, challenging the \u201csupply chain risk\u201d designation as an inappropriate retaliation.<\/p>\n

The falling out between Anthropic and the Pentagon sparked a major debate on the ethics and morality of AI,<\/a> with many commentators expressing appreciation for Anthropic\u2019s decision to make a principled stand against the government\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n

In the brief<\/a> filed March 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, the group of 14 Catholic scholars \u2014 including professors, authors, and at least one priest, Legionary Father Michael Baggot \u2014 said the teaching of the Catholic Church supports Anthropic\u2019s decision to reject the Pentagon\u2019s demands on its technology related to mass surveillance and autonomous weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthropic, in the red lines it has drawn for the use of its products on domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons systems, sought to uphold minimal standards of ethical conduct for technical progress. In doing so, Anthropic was acting as a responsible and moral corporate citizen, not as a threat to the safety of the American supply chain,\u201d the authors of the brief wrote.<\/p>\n

The substance of the brief was written by four scholars: Charles Camosy, an associate professor of moral theology at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.; Joseph Vukov, an associate professor of philosophy and the associate director of the Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage at Loyola University Chicago; Brian J.A. Boyd, a moral theologian; and Brian Patrick Green, a lecturer in ethics at the Graduate School of Engineering at Santa Clara University, a Catholic institution in California.<\/p>\n

\u2018A threat for man and for the world\u2019<\/h2>\n

In the brief, the scholars note that Anthropic has said<\/a> it is not categorically opposed to the idea of autonomous weaponry or mass surveillance; rather, the company believes its systems are not yet \u201csufficiently reliable, interpretable, or controllable to be entrusted with decisions that directly take a human life without human oversight, or to conduct population-scale surveillance.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the scholars indicated agreement with Anthropic on the criticisms of such systems\u2019 reliability, they stressed that the Catholic tradition has \u201cconsistently emphasized that decisions affecting human life, freedom, and dignity must remain the responsibility of human actors and that not every technically feasible or legally permissible use of a tool is therefore appropriate,\u201d and that \u201cwhen technology is capable of violating life, dignity, and freedom, it is reasonable to draw clear boundaries around its use.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the topic of mass surveillance, the scholars note that the Church\u2019s teaching on the right to privacy is rooted in the dignity of every human person. A widespread surveillance regime by the military would undermine the dignity of those being surveilled, the scholars argued.<\/p>\n

Such a centralized surveillance system would also tread on the Catholic idea of subsidiarity \u2014 the idea that decisions and oversight should be handled by the smallest, most local competent body \u2014 by undermining state and local governments, which are not only more likely to understand context better than a distant AI but which must also live with the effects, the scholars continued.<\/p>\n

On the topic of lethal autonomous weapons systems, or LAWS (sometimes called \u201ckiller robots\u201d), the scholars firmly asserted that the use of weapons capable of making wartime decisions on their own violates the Catholic principle of \u201cjust war.\u201d In a just war, human judgment must be employed to ensure, for example, that a violent act is a proportionate use of force, or in the selection or avoidance of targets. Human involvement in such decisions is crucial, the scholars said, because \u201cjudgments of proportionality and discrimination are prudential \u2014 not mere pattern matching.\u201d This and other reasons are why the Vatican has repeatedly and forcefully expressed opposition to the idea<\/a> of LAWS, going back as far as 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201c[LAWS] circumvent the kind of practical judgment and careful decision-making that should inform all human decisions, and especially those that involve matters of life and death,\u201d the scholars wrote.<\/p>\n

The scholars conclude their brief by quoting Pope Benedict XVI\u2019s encyclical Spe Salvi<\/em> on the topic of technological progress. \u201cIf technical progress is not matched by corresponding progress in man\u2019s ethical formation, in man\u2019s inner growth (cf. Ephesians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 4:16), then it is not progress at all but a threat for man and for the world,\u201d the encyclical states.<\/p>\n

Green, one of the authors of the amicus brief, previously told the National Catholic Register<\/a>, the sister partner of EWTN News, that Anthropic\u2019s principled stand, especially coming from a commercial company, is important.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can imagine an alternate universe where Dario Amodei just said, \u2018OK, we\u2019ll sign it. It\u2019s no big deal.\u2019 They would be doing fine as a business, and the rest of the world would not be talking about AI ethics right now. [But] this universe that we\u2019re living in is one that has been fundamentally changed in a lot of ways because somebody decided to take an ethical stand. I think that\u2019s important,\u201d Green said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this ethical stand is good, potentially \u2014 assuming that the government does not actually destroy Anthropic and reduce their value to zero,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
