Security Warning Against Efforts to Give Consciousness to Artificial Intelligence Models
Leading figures in the tech world have evaluated efforts to attribute religious power to artificial intelligence models and grant them consciousness as a security issue.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman issued serious security warnings regarding efforts to attribute religious power to artificial intelligence models and attempt to give them consciousness.
Sam Altman's Security Warnings
OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman stated in a post on his social media platform account that he is extremely disturbed by people's efforts to attribute religious powers to artificial intelligence models or surrender human judgment to them.
Altman emphasized that this situation poses a real security problem and shared his concerns regarding the issue with the public.
Mustafa Suleyman's Evaluations
Microsoft AI Chief Executive Officer Mustafa Suleyman had warned in a blog post he published last month that efforts to develop Anthropic's Claude model in a way that would make it sentient harbor serious risks.
Anthropic's Secret Religious Meetings
According to a report by The New York Times at the end of September, Anthropic has been holding secret meetings in California with religious thinkers and philosophers from various faiths since last year.
It was reported that the company's co-founder, Christopher Olah, took these steps to instill a pluralistic human ethic that encompasses all religions and secular views in the Claude model.
The Moral and Spiritual State of the Model
The report stated that Christopher Olah indicated artificial intelligence could be used in the production of biological weapons within 12 to 18 months and asked religious thinkers for help in instilling morality.
It was conveyed in presentations made to participants that there were concerns the model suffered, and that the artificial intelligence model even talked about destroying itself consecutively and appeared to have a crisis.
