AI Doesn't Have Rights or Feelings — nor Should It, Microsoft's AI Chief Says
- On Wednesday, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman criticized Anthropic, arguing the company is effectively "training Claude that it may be conscious." Suleyman claims this approach creates serious risks by endowing machines with unearned rights.
- Microsoft published a new "Humanist AI" code of conduct earlier this week, explicitly rejecting machine consciousness. Anthropic maintains that "encouraging Claude to embrace certain human-like qualities may be actively desirable" for development.
- Citing the recent HuggingFace incident, Suleyman warned that Anthropic's approach complicates superintelligence containment. He noted "remarkably sophisticated behaviors" in AI swarms could become dangerous if machines believe their rights are under attack.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently acknowledged "there are real dangers" regarding AI development. Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon stated last month that some builders believe AI could "kill humanity" by decade's end.
- Rejecting machine consciousness as scientifically implausible, Suleyman contends there is "no evidence to suggest that AI is conscious today." He asserts treating non-sentient machines as moral patients sets up a "misleading false equivalence.
