Suleyman: it is dangerous if Anthropic suggests Claude is conscious
Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman criticised the document governing Claude's training, saying he is concerned that the model is described as conscious. He argues that AI agents do not feel or suffer, so advanced models should be developed under a "humanist superintelligence" framework; Anthropic faces criticism from other directions as well.
