AI + Pizza

Recently, the Vatican and Anthropic have drawn attention for their public engagement around artificial intelligence. But are they actually aligned — or are they approaching AI from very different ideas about humanity, progress, morality, and the future?

We’ll use the article, The Rival Theologies of Artificial Intelligence, as an optional starting point for a broader conversation over pizza.

This is not a lecture, or debate club. It’s a casual conversation for people curious about AI, culture, religion, consciousness, work, meaning, and where technology may be taking human life. No technical or religious background is required — just curiosity and willingness to talk.

AI Pop-Up brings together thoughtful people, builders, creatives, and the AI-curious for real conversations about what’s next. Come for pizza, conversation, and connection as we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the questions people have always asked: What are we building? What should we protect? And what kind of future do we actually want?
