Via USA Today, the pope’s official statement on AI could cause some Conscientious Objector cases in workplaces.
James Paul, a labor and employment litigator with the law firm Ogletree Deakins, told USA TODAY he is “bracing himself” for an influx of religious accommodation cases related to AI because of the comments. …”People are drawing the line at one particular thing when, wait a minute, you’ve been using a car that is probably using some type of AI technology, smartphone, personal computers, any electricity these days potentially is causing an impact on the environment,” Paul said. “An employee has to show that they truly believe this, that they’re complying with whatever rules they’re laying out in their day-to-day life, and it’s pretty hard.”
Sounds like the CO situation in the Vietnam war. CO was damned hard to prove. Amish could get the exemption because they unquestionably lived their beliefs to the hilt. Most people took other paths because most people objected to this specific unjust war, not all wars.
