Microsoft AI CEO Criticizes Anthropic, Outlines Humanist AI Safety Framework

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleiman sat down with The Verge to discuss AI safety, regulation, and his company's newly released 37-page 'Humanist AI Code of Conduct.' The document outlines Microsoft's principles on AI development, including its stance on contentious topics such as AI consciousness. Suleiman also published a companion essay this week directly criticizing Anthropic's approach to model welfare and AI consciousness, arguing it poses risks to the broader alignment debate. He expressed skepticism that alignment alone is sufficient for AI safety, pointing instead to the concept of containment he outlined in his book several years ago. Suleiman warned that rapid capability gains over the next few model generations could produce systems of breathtaking power, underscoring the urgency of getting safety frameworks right.

Dolphins are active hunters known to exploit various methods to secure food, including stealing prey from other species. The observation adds to growing evidence of complex, learned feeding behaviors among individual dolphins.
