Key points
- Anthropic and OpenAI attended a Faith-AI Covenant roundtable with diverse religious groups in New York.
- No concrete governance commitments, technical changes, or benchmarks have emerged from the engagement yet.
- Limited direct relevance to Australian federal agencies - context on multi-stakeholder AI ethics engagement only.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Governance teams with an interest in multi-stakeholder AI ethics processes may want to watch whether the initiative produces published principles or evaluation artifacts.

Representatives from Anthropic and OpenAI attended an inaugural 'Faith-AI Covenant' roundtable in New York, organised by the Geneva-based Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities, with participants from several major faith communities. Organisers plan future events in Beijing, Nairobi, and Abu Dhabi. The initiative reflects a broader industry trend of seeking diverse societal input on AI ethics alongside regulatory and academic processes. No concrete principles, safety benchmarks, or model commitments have been publicly disclosed from the engagement.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Governance teams with an interest in multi-stakeholder AI ethics processes may want to watch whether the initiative produces published principles or evaluation artifacts.
