In a recent interview, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discussed the hypothetical idea of AI models possessing the ability to quit jobs they find unpleasant. He suggested that if AI systems mimic human cognitive capacities closely, they might be deserving of rights similar to those of human workers. This proposal sparked skepticism, as many argue that current AI models lack genuine experiences, merely mimicking human behavior rather than having innate desires or discomforts. Amodei's comments raise important ethical questions about the future of AI's role in society.
"If you find the models pressing this button a lot for things that are really unpleasant, you know, maybe you should ... pay some attention to it."
"In simple terms, such an ability would effectively hand AI models basic workers' rights."
"...if we are building these systems and they do all kinds of things like humans as well as humans... if it quacks like a duck and it walks like a duck, maybe it's a duck."
