404 Media's Editors on Covering AI and Spirituality: Behind the Pope Story
404 Media · rss · 2026-10-09
404 Media's "Behind the Blog" series shares behind-the-scenes thoughts on top stories of the week; this edition discusses AI and spirituality. Editor Jason notes the outlet has carved out a lane in the AI debate: covering current capabilities and harms, and the fact it was trained on stolen content, without claiming AI can never be useful. The team regularly tinkers with AI to write from an informed perspective, and occasionally finds AI could genuinely help with a specific part of reporting.
