AI safety and existential risk concerns

Microsoft's head of AI, Mustafa Suleyman, has warned that Anthropic's approach to training its Claude model, including telling it that it may be conscious, could have a disastrous impact on humanity. The warning comes amid wider concern about whether AI could threaten humanity and whether it can be regulated. Trump criticised Anthropic's Dario Amodei after he called for a slowdown, and tech stocks fell after the bosses of two major AI companies backed his call to closely monitor development.
