🤖 AI Should Not Have Rights Says Microsoft AI CEO

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman believes that the danger AI poses to humanity is real and calls for the rapid development of a system to "contain" AI agents. Otherwise, a "new silicon species" will begin to compete with humans for resources.

That is why he criticizes the "Claude's Constitution," on which Anthropic bases the "personality" of its models. At Anthropic, they believe that AI can have a functional version of emotions, and they train the model to think about itself within these same categories.

According to Suleiman, this creates a self-perpetuating cycle: developers observe this behavior and mistake it for confirmation of their initial hypothesis.

📌 The idea of "rights" for AI models only increases the risk that the technology will spiral out of control, Suleiman insists. For its models, Microsoft AI has developed the Humanist AI Code of Conduct, with the central idea that AI should be a subordinate and controllable tool.

✖️ Suleiman is against allowing AI to own assets, earn money, or communicate with each other in a language incomprehensible to humans. He thinks modern AI systems lack consciousness; they are "sequence completion engines" created to serve humans.
