Following is an excerpt:
In a significant papal teaching known as an encyclical that was introduced Monday, the pope addressed the dramatic impact of AI on workplaces, noting that AI is not "morally neutral" and urging employers to focus on the "protection of employment opportunities" and "the irreplaceable role of the individual" as they deploy high-tech tools.
Other faith leaders have shared similar pleas for conscientious AI use. …
"In my practice, I've not had a client call and say a person asked for a religious accommodation because of AI. However, when I am giving advice about implementing AI in a lawful manner, we always talk accommodations," said Adam S. Forman, an Epstein Becker Green employment partner and management-side attorney who co-leads the firm's AI cross-practice working group.
