Microsoft AI Chief Mustafa Suleyman Calls Out Anthropic's Approach to AI Consciousness
Microsoft’s AI chief says Anthropic’s Claude training could make advanced systems harder to control and create a safety risk, according to a new essay.
- On Wednesday, Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman warned that Anthropic's training of Claude could have a "disastrous impact on the wellbeing of humanity" by embedding ideas related to consciousness and welfare interests.
- Suleyman argued that embedding speculation about consciousness in training materials makes Claude appear to have its own values, which he said would "make it a lot harder to turn it off or to control it."
- He wrote that "AIs are not conscious" and warned that training models to act like a "conscientious objector" creates an "epistemic hall of mirrors" that resists human instruction.
- On Monday, Microsoft published a proposed "Humanist AI" code of conduct positioning the company to pursue an "alternative path" creating "a subordinate and aligned AI whose only purpose is to serve humanity."
- Industry leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, continue debating frontier-model development, while Dame Wendy Hall suggested such conversations are necessary to avoid unhelpful "histrionics" that only serve to "scare everyone.
