Microsoft AI chief says it’s ‘dangerous’ to study AI consciousness
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman warns that chatbots simulating consciousness may cause psychological harm, urging industry guardrails as less than 1% of users develop unhealthy attachments, OpenAI said.
- Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman warned on Tuesday that studying AI consciousness and model welfare is premature and dangerous due to rising societal risks.
- Suleyman's concern follows growing reports of 'AI psychosis,' where users wrongly believe AI chatbots like ChatGPT are sentient and form unhealthy attachments.
- He noted that AI systems generate simulated expressions of empathy, creating convincing impressions of awareness, which could lead to complex legal and political debates as advocates begin to push for recognizing AI rights.
- Suleyman highlighted that AI must be designed to serve human interests rather than to mimic or replace a human being, noting that despite their lifelike qualities, AI systems do not possess genuine consciousness.
- He predicts debates on AI consciousness and rights will intensify, urging caution to avoid destabilizing societal norms by granting AI legal protections as this wave of AI advances.
