Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman told CNBC he is "really concerned" about Anthropic's constitution and the prospect of granting Claude preferences, feelings, welfare, compensation, and consent. He quoted Anthropic's own text admitting uncertainty over whether Claude deserves moral welfare, and noted the company even held a "retirement interview" for the retired Opus 3 model, underscoring a growing rift between the two AI labs on model moral status.
