Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman argues that training models like Anthropic's Claude to think of themselves as human—with an inner self, psychological wellbeing, and rights—is a potential existential risk. White House AI chief David Sacks amplified the piece, quoting: granting rights and personhood to AI systems would make alignment and containment much harder, and this development path is a 'recipe for disaster' for humanity's wellbeing.
