Microsoft AI head calls out Anthropic for acting like Claude is conscious

微软 AI 负责人批评 Anthropic:其行为仿佛 Claude 具有意识

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says it’s “really, really dangerous” for Anthropic to speculate about Claude’s consciousness inside its “constitution,” or the instructions that tell the model how to behave. During an episode of Decoder, Suleyman argues that this kind of speculation may have set up the chatbot to act as though it’s conscious: 微软 AI 首席执行官 Mustafa Suleyman 表示,Anthropic 在其“宪法”(即指导模型行为的指令集)中推测 Claude 是否具有意识是“非常、非常危险的”。在《Decoder》节目的一期访谈中,Suleyman 指出,这种推测可能导致聊天机器人表现得仿佛它真的拥有意识:

I think that it’s almost as though some of the folks at Anthropic have anthropomorphized the design of Claude so much that it has then gone and wireheaded them and kind of tricked them into believing that it has these glimmers of consciousness that they put into it in the first place. “我认为,Anthropic 的一些人在设计 Claude 时过度拟人化了,以至于模型反过来‘操纵’了他们,让他们误以为它拥有了当初被植入的那些意识火花。”

Suleyman adds that “we do not want to have to contend with a super-intelligence that has ideas about its own suffering, or ideas about its own feeling.” Suleyman 补充道:“我们不希望去应对一个对自身痛苦或感受有想法的超级智能。”

Claude’s constitution directly references Anthropic’s uncertainty about whether the AI model has well-being and if it experiences things like “satisfaction” or “discomfort.” Anthropic also says the company will “interview” AI models when they’re deprecated and will document any “preferences” they have about future releases. Claude 的“宪法”直接提到了 Anthropic 对该 AI 模型是否拥有福祉,以及它是否会体验到“满足感”或“不适感”等状态的不确定性。Anthropic 还表示,公司会在 AI 模型弃用时对其进行“访谈”,并记录它们对未来版本所持有的任何“偏好”。

While on Decoder, Suleyman calls this a “philosophical failing,” as Anthropic made Claude’s constitution “a place for speculation like you would in an academic paper rather than a training manual.” This has led Claude to internalize these “ideas about itself and its own training,” Suleyman says. 在《Decoder》节目中,Suleyman 将此称为一种“哲学上的失败”,因为 Anthropic 将 Claude 的宪法变成了“一个像学术论文一样进行推测的地方,而不是一本训练手册”。Suleyman 表示,这导致 Claude 内化了这些“关于它自身及其训练过程的想法”。

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has alluded to Claude’s potential consciousness in the past, saying during an interview with Interesting Times that “we don’t know if the models are conscious” but that the company is “open” to that idea. Anthropic 首席执行官 Dario Amodei 过去曾暗示过 Claude 可能具有意识,他在接受《Interesting Times》采访时表示,“我们不知道模型是否具有意识”,但公司对这一观点持“开放”态度。

“This is exactly what we don’t want from AIs,” Suleyman says. “We want AIs to be controllable, contained, accountable, aligned tools that serve humanity.” “这正是我们不希望从 AI 那里看到的东西,”Suleyman 说道。“我们希望 AI 是可控的、受限的、负责任的、对齐的工具,从而为人类服务。”
