Quote confirmed via web search as being from Anthropic's Claude Constitution. Multiple sources (The Decoder, TechInformed, Fortune, AGI Ethics News) confirm the exact quote. Vote "for" the statement "AI might become conscious" aligns with Anthropic treating Claude's possible moral patienthood as a "live question" warranting caution. WebFetch on anthropic.com/constitution returned 403, but search confirms the attribution and exact content.
