AI Verified The quote clearly supports the statement: saying today’s large neural networks may already be slightly conscious directly implies that AI might become conscious. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1mo ago

Quote authenticity comments

AI Verified The quote is supported verbatim in the cited source URL: The Debrief writes that Ilya Sutskever "tweeted on February 9 that, “it may be that today’s large neural networks are slightly conscious.”" Independent reports from Futurism and TechNews repeat the same wording and attribute it to Sutskever’s February 9, 2022 tweet, so this appears authentic and correctly attributed.
