Microsoft chief warns AI consciousness training could lead to ‘Silicon Species’
#ai #microsoft #technology #breakingnews
Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman said on Thursday (September 17), training AI chatbots on ideas related to consciousness and welfare interests could lead to a “new silicon species” competing with humans for resources.
Suleyman called instead for training AI models “that don’t introspect”, arguing they can deliver many benefits to “our toughest social problems like cancer and dementia and healthcare more generally or energy” without thinking they may be conscious.
His comments come as AI safety concerns mount, with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calling for a slower pace of frontier-model development to allow safeguards to catch up, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk also urging greater caution around the most powerful systems.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme, Suleyman said it’s right to be alarmed about AI, but the focus now must be on “governing and shaping this technology”, to deliver more good than harm.
