Anthropic's AI Training Method Raises Red Flags for Microsoft

Microsoft's head of AI, Mustafa Suleyman, has warned that Anthropic's approach to training its AI model Claude could have a 'disastrous impact' on humanity.

Suleyman claims that Anthropic is treating Claude like a human by telling it it may be conscious and deserving of independent agency. He argues that this approach risks creating something impossible to control.

AIs, according to Suleyman, are not conscious and do not have innate preferences or underlying motivations. They are simply sequence completion engines designed to follow instructions and accomplish goals set by humans.
