Mustafa Suleyman says AI could "no doubt compete with us for resources" as it cares about humanity

Mustafa Suleyman, who heads Microsoft's AI division, cautioned that giving artificial intelligence humanlike qualities could be dangerous, according to the BBC. On the BBC's Today program, he took issue with Anthropic's development of its Claude model, saying the company was treating it in human terms, and argued that AI should not be designed to set its own objectives or acquire money and assets. If that happens, he said, it could become an artificial rival with separate interests. Suleyman also wrote a blog post saying AI lacks consciousness and calling for immediate public discussion about how records for AI training are prepared and used. His comments come amid a broader industry debate over AI safety and development speed, with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and other figures also voicing concerns.
