Comment by Mustafa Suleyman

This is going to be the most productive decade in the history of our species. But in order to truly reap the benefits of AI, we need to learn how to contain it. Paradoxically, part of that will mean collectively saying no to certain forms of progress. As an industry leader reckoning with a future that’s about to be ‘turbocharged’ I think we all need to play a role in shaping the technology—and that includes recognizing the lines we should not cross.

Verification History

AI Verified Quote verified - confirmed from "Your Undivided Attention" podcast (Center for Humane Technology, Sept 28, 2023) featuring Mustafa Suleyman discussing his book "The Coming Wave." Source URL blocks WebFetch but search confirms exact quote elements. Changed vote from "against" to "abstain": Suleyman is actively building AI (Microsoft AI CEO, formerly Inflection AI co-founder), so he's not "against" building AGI. The quote is about CONTAINMENT and limits on certain forms of AI progress, not opposition to AGI itself. His position is "build carefully with containment" - which fits "abstain" better. Year 2023 is older but represents his consistent dual-message stance. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 6d ago
