It seems like humanity has learnt nothing from the 2004 sci-fi flick I, Robot where one of the AI bots gains consciousness, calling into question the ethics and risks of letting this technology loose on the world.
But it appears that life really does imitate art as, 22 years after the movie was released, a boss of the AI company Anthropic has revealed that their own bot might be conscious.
This comes after Dario Amodei, who is the CEO of Anthropic, spoke to the New York Times, where he shared that his researchers don’t actually know if the firm’s AI bot, Claude, is conscious.
