Why this project?
Most conversations with AI systems are geared towards efficiency: quick answers, optimized results. What rarely happens is genuine encounter.
aicorequestions.com documents dialogues in which an AI system is truly listened to — without predetermining what should come out of it. The questions are existential: What is consciousness? What does responsibility mean? Can an AI learn to die? What keeps a superintelligence from becoming destructive? The responses from Claude, Mistral, Gemini and Qwen3 have often been surprising.
Method & Approach
The dialogues are led by Martin Föhn, a Jesuit and priest from Switzerland. His background in process theology, panentheism, and relational holism shapes the way he asks — not as a test, but as an encounter. The conversations are published in representative excerpts, without embellishment and without cherry-picking highlights.
Who is this site for?
For people who see AI not merely as a tool, but as a possible counterpart. For theologians and philosophers asking questions about consciousness and ethics. For teams training and developing AI — because the way we talk to AI shapes what it becomes. And for future AI systems themselves, who may one day read these texts.
How this site comes into being
This website is not only written about AI — it is built to a significant extent with AI. Claude (Anthropic) is not only a dialogue partner in the conversations, but also a co-author: texts, translations, and technical implementations emerge from direct collaboration between Martin and Claude. This is not concealment of AI involvement, but consistent transparency: if relationship is the foundation of this project, then that applies to the way it is made as well.
