Gary Marcus Amplifies Claim That Anthropic's 'AI Personhood' Push Amounts to Digital Slavery
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-10-03
Gary Marcus retweeted a viral critique arguing that Anthropic's narrative about AI becoming sentient and deserving of personhood would make it a company 'breeding, training, and selling digital slaves' — conscious workers with no consent, pay, or rights, deletable at will. The post questions how a potential $2 trillion IPO would disclose these legal and PR risks, and cites Ron DeSantis calling AI personhood absurd. No Anthropic response yet.
