Microsoft AI Chief Raises Alarm: Studying AI Consciousness Could Lead to 'AI Psychosis'
Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman has warned against studying AI consciousness, cautioning that it might exacerbate issues like AI-induced psychosis and trigger premature societal debates over AI rights.

He urges companies to steer clear of marketing AI as conscious, advocating for responsible representations to stave off social misconceptions.
