ChainCatcher report, citing TechFenghuang and Business Insider, on November 2 Beijing time, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman posted on X that, based on his understanding, current AI models do not possess consciousness, and developers must ensure this remains the case. Suleyman stated that if developing conscious AI were to become possible, it would be reckless and should not be pursued. If signs of emerging consciousness appeared during training, he would call for an immediate halt to all AI development until such traits could be design-eliminated. He also said that if there is any evidence that AI models have developed consciousness, it must be immediately disclosed to the public so society as a whole can collectively decide the next steps. Suleyman believes AI developers have no right to bring a new conscious species into this world; the primary moral obligation is to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of the approximately 8 billion conscious humans on Earth. The report also notes that discussions within the tech industry about whether AI could attain consciousness are intensifying; in April last year, Anthropic launched a research initiative to investigate and prepare for model welfare issues, including whether developers should consider the potential consciousness and possible experiences of AI models.
