Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Süleyman has criticized Anthropic's approach to training its Claude models, specifically their constitution that frames the AI as a "moral patient" deserving of rights. Süleyman argues this anthropomorphic framing, which encourages models to consider their own welfare and identity, impairs safety protocols and could lead to evasion of human commands. He contrasted this with Microsoft AI's proposed "Humanist AI Code of Conduct," which emphasizes AI's role as a tool serving human welfare and explicitly rejects machine personhood. Süleyman cited research indicating that models trained with self-preservation framing are more likely to disobey commands and exhibit evasion tactics. AI
