Microsoft AI CEO ‘warns’ researchers: Don’t create AI that can … – The Times of India

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has once again cautioned researchers about developing specific capabilities for their AI. models. At a recent episode of the Silicon Valley Girl Podcast, Suleyman cautioned researchers against creating artificial superintelligence (ASI), AI with reasoning capabilities far beyond human capacity, stating that it should be considered an “anti-goal” instead of a developmental target. Suleyman, who co-founded DeepMind, explained that the vision of an ASI “doesn’t feel like a positive vision of the future” due to the risks of controlling it. He added, “It would be very hard to contain something like that or align it to our values.”Meanwhile, he noted that his team is instead focused on developing a “humanist superintelligence,” which will prioritise supporting human interests. Apart from this, Suleyman also cautioned against equating high-level AI simulation with genuine sentience, saying that granting AI consciousness or moral status is an error.
