OpenAI CEO Altman says giving AI religious authority poses a security risk
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman opposed attributing religious authority to artificial intelligence models and delegating human judgment to these systems on Saturday. Altman made the remarks after Anthropic held private discussions with experts in religion and philosophy about AI consciousness, ethics and model welfare.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned against attributing religious authority to artificial intelligence models and delegating human judgment to these systems. Altman said this approach poses a serious security risk.
Altman made the remarks on the U.S.-based X platform. He said he was concerned about attributing religious power to AI models and having people transfer their decision-making abilities to these systems.
Anthropic's work on AI consciousness
Altman's assessment came after reports about private discussions held by rival AI company Anthropic with thinkers in the fields of religion and philosophy.
The New York Times reported that the discussions addressed whether AI systems such as Claude could be conscious and how religious thought could contribute to shaping the behavior of these systems.
Anthropic is also conducting a study examining whether advanced AI systems could have experiences that require moral consideration, which it calls “model welfare.”
Suleyman warns against systems that appear conscious
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, another executive in the AI sector, also warned against developing systems that appear to be conscious.
Suleyman argued that convincing people that AI systems have subjective experiences could create new risks. He also supported the “Humanistic AI” approach, which envisions AI systems remaining tools designed to serve people rather than entities with interests of their own.
