 Microsoft AI chief warns: Studying consciousness in AI is ‘dangerous’ The rapid development of AI is generating both excitement and concern around the world. But a recent warning from Microsoft’s AI chief Mustafa Suleiman has given the debate a new twist. He said that researching AI consciousness could be dangerous. According to Suleiman, trying to give AI consciousness or studying it could lead to unnecessary controversy and risky applications.

This could drag scientific research into philosophical debates and divert attention from actual technological development. He says that moving forward with AI in relation to cons...
