Sam Altman opposes granting religious authority to artificial intelligence
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman opposed attributing religious authority to artificial intelligence models and entrusting human judgment to these systems on Saturday. The remarks came after Anthropic held private discussions with experts in religion and philosophy on AI consciousness, ethics and model welfare.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that assigning religious authority to artificial intelligence models risks leaving human decisions to these systems, calling the approach a serious safety concern.
Altman shared his assessment on X, a U.S.-based platform. He said he was uncomfortable with attributing religious power to artificial intelligence models and transferring people's decision-making abilities to these systems.
Anthropic examines artificial intelligence consciousness
Altman's comments came after reports about private discussions held by rival company Anthropic with thinkers in the fields of religion and philosophy.
The New York Times reported that the discussions addressed whether artificial intelligence systems such as Claude could possess consciousness and the role of religious thought in shaping the behavior of those systems.
Anthropic is also investigating whether advanced artificial intelligence systems can undergo experiences that warrant moral consideration. The company is examining this possibility through a project it calls “model welfare.”
Mustafa Suleyman warns against systems that appear conscious
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman also warned against developing artificial intelligence systems that appear to possess consciousness.
Suleyman argued that convincing people that artificial intelligence experiences subjective states could create new risks. He also supported the “Humane AI” approach, which envisions artificial intelligence systems remaining tools designed to serve people rather than entities with interests of their own.
