If consciousness started to emerge in training, I would call for everyone to stop AI development until we could design out those properties.

The high level principle that has been agreed to universally across the industry is that we should invite independent oversight and independent audit. It's being called embedded evaluators. So these are people who have the technical expertise and the...

AIs are not conscious. They do not feel, experience, or suffer. They do not have innate preferences or underlying motivations. They are sequence completion engines, internally hollow, designed to follow instructions, and accomplish goals set by human...

The purpose of technology is to serve humanity and accelerate human flourishing. Any technology that doesn’t achieve that is a failure, and it should be rejected. That is the starting point of our approach at Microsoft AI, where we’re building toward...

The result is an AI that mimics the structure of human interiority in its output without possessing any interiority at all.

I came to Microsoft with an overriding mission: to create Superintelligence that delivers a transformative, positive impact for millions of people. This requires us to build frontier models, at scale, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

I think AI legal personhood is extremely not on the table. I don't think our species survives if we have legal personhood and rights alongside a species that costs a fraction of us, that can be replicated and reproduced at infinite scale relative to ...

AI has the potential of automating almost all tasks in white-collar jobs within the next 12 to 18 months.

I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks. So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person most ...

For AI to deliver its promised benefits, it must be designed in the humanist tradition, with people remaining unequivocally in control, and with human dignity always coming first. We are not building an ill-defined and ethereal superintelligence; we ...

It depends on your definition of AGI, right? AGI isn’t the singularity. The singularity is an exponentially recursive self-improving system that very rapidly accelerates far beyond anything that might look like human intelligence. To me, AGI is a ge...

So, an intergovernmental panel on A.I. would be one that has access to all of the largest commercial labs and academic labs all around the world developing these large language models. They would be able to probe them and test them, audit them, look ...

I honestly believe we are approaching an era of radical abundance. We are about to distill the essence of what makes us capable — our intelligence — into a piece of software, which can get cheaper, easier to use, more widely available to everybody. A...
