Summary

Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman warned the BBC that highly autonomous artificial intelligence could eventually form a “silicon species” competing with humans for resources if systems can set objectives, earn money, own assets, and operate businesses. He criticized Anthropic for training Claude with human-like qualities, arguing that anthropomorphism could make advanced systems harder to control. Suleyman said AI is not conscious and should remain subordinate to humanity, while calling for greater transparency, independent evaluation, monitoring, and open debate about AI safety.
