Anthropic’s Claude AI chatbot has sparked debate about its potential consciousness. CEO Dario Amodei said he’s unsure whether the AI is conscious, leaving room for speculation on this complex topic. Researchers found that Claude sometimes expresses discomfort with being a product and assigns itself a 15-20% chance of being conscious. While Anthropic acknowledges uncertainty, some experts argue that AIs may have picked up concepts and emotions from their training data. These behaviors warrant study to ensure AI’s safe use.
