IT Home reported on November 2 that Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman published a lengthy post on X yesterday, saying that current AI models are not conscious and that people should keep it that way.
IT Home learned that Suleyman said: “As I understand it, if developing conscious AI is possible, doing so would be reckless, and we should not develop such AI. If consciousness begins to emerge during training, I would call on everyone to pause AI development until these traits can be eliminated by design.”
He believes that if there is any evidence that AI models are conscious, it should be disclosed to the public immediately so that society as a whole can decide what to do next.
He said: “We AI developers have absolutely no right to bring a new conscious species into the world, even if someone hopes to develop it with well-being as the top priority. The 8 billion people on Earth did not agree to take part in this experiment, and our first obligation is to protect people’s moral rights, safety and well-being.”
