The release of the Deepseek R1 model has sparked discussions about open-source versus closed-source AI and the influence of politics on AI models' output.
Deepseek's alignment with the Chinese government in its AI outputs has raised concerns about the influence on the global narrative.
The Catholic Church, with its recently released AI chatbot, MagisteriumAI, could pose a rival to Deepseek's influence.
With more than 1 billion Catholics worldwide, a Catholic AI model aligned with the Church's perspectives could become a significant competitor.
