### AI overview

The article quotes Mustafa Suleyman arguing that AI models should not be treated as having feelings, preferences, rights, or entitlement to human welfare. He says the evidence does not justify granting models such rights and warns that doing so could make AI containment and alignment more difficult.

### Source excerpt

We should not treat models as though they have feelings, preferences, rights, or any entitlement to our welfare. Consciousness is the foundation of our ethical, legal, and political systems. To invite another entity to share any flavor of these rights isn't justified by the evidence and will make the AI containment and alignment challenge even harder. -- Mustafa Suleyman, A warning about 'model welfare' Tags: ai-ethics, generative-ai, ai, microsoft, llms
