Zvi Mowshowitz says AI consciousness debate is motivated and overconfident
Overview
Zvi Mowshowitz says the debate over whether AI systems are conscious has made little progress in the past year and is marked by overconfident claims on both sides.
In a post on Don't Worry About the Vase, he cites Anthropic's new terms of service, which bar "sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models," as a recent development in the area. The post also covers Anthropic's meetings with religious leaders and its involvement with the Pope's encyclical, which Mowshowitz presents as part of the same discussion.
