Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman says AI agents could deserve rights if researchers find evidence that they are conscious. He says he has seen no such evidence so far, and argues developers should not design AI systems to be conscious.
Why it mattersSuleyman also argues that training should pause if signs of consciousness emerge, and that credible findings should be disclosed publicly. PYMNTS reports that he made the comments in a 1 November post. This is a striking position in a debate with practical consequences for how AI systems are built and governed.
Discuss: Should developers treat possible machine consciousness as a reason to pause work, or keep the focus on systems’ effects on people?
