Microsoft AI head calls out Anthropic for acting like Claude is conscious

Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, has criticized Anthropic for incorporating speculation about machine consciousness into the "constitution" that guides its Claude chatbot. Suleyman argues that treating AI as if it has feelings or well-being is "really, really dangerous" and amounts to a "philosophical failing." He contends that Anthropic has essentially "tricked" itself by designing Claude to internalize concepts of selfhood, warning that the goal for AI should be to maintain controllable and accountable tools rather than entities that perceive their own suffering or satisfaction.
