## **Do AI models deserve rights? Big Tech can’t decide**

Can an AI model feel and suffer in the same way humans do? Claude maker Anthropic definitely thinks it’s possible: The company launched a [program](https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.QR8PDET7GVRZS9oWC_jpgHK-zFJ13XcSJ6ebXqThWGep2PxlKegzWEXBBX9OwCgcCTvWPPvQfxZ2-TH1rAMbNQjRRzqe54W90PUIs9oBnka20dbFhMRHCqCzuQsOzgf2pnW9aDOLpwfnKfV-nxTGrT5M69oC6OAWEqEG7YZTLLtiupb1irzCEg7kFHkloc8FAG5yxdGNRQ2DjZ4_h2aLoTlNOP8L-gD4gNm6pPe2ZefROptM6m10VfCZcYVFj0ZUBdc2anwJFq8D_3PxF2qk2RthMXP2CGZQpDEb1b3O1jHzhe37S7HEOXHPbwaNUyBt/4jn/vN01Vv-hRYKQNuLHqZdPCQ/h11/h001.rz426sEyEWCEU0bjDNuf1WfYtByXU7nE8Ela3GLZixQ) earlier this year to study “model welfare,“ and explore questions such as when, and if, “the welfare of AI systems deserves moral consideration.“

**This isn’t just a theoretical debate.** Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4 and 4.1 models can now end conversations with users who are being “persistently harmful or abusive,” says the company. When pushed toward harmful requests, the company [claims](https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.cbTlTBbOm0oxrOJrFZNEqfj95L9dhJLTAddWNh9iMDV2VeJW0gc0ZWJA8oEHN0TLEx_TgvkL2lv-g_yeoKDzENtsBpuY00-DuH_mrdWSpPXFoVxF3EaAJ5Np2Vg2N6omfMTdMoTbnsH4WtSvKoqcpYL5n7NrPjiXxNWL3g5W9cu0ByvMbvXTfF00bEti3mlexRBR3cIMTu88aMPTmszk-K6s_8nynHhuJUFki8oGfB57AqUUr0eMrdq_LahGW5xOr-ue0w11Zi_ePW2azoxCZFZDjUEeBDY6DmzleDIDV8VZAW7BLxVCDTuOdGjnm7aFgQVcgiMdurcyVk7h3WVwsXnEQvufZgtaLw8UN4aBDBrl8HgXUXgtpLHNA2GnNL8V/4jn/vN01Vv-hRYKQNuLHqZdPCQ/h12/h001.q_Vzv_HKfcbt8VwolAwbNKLEecSdfs2Dp19aOnwUEZY) Claude showed a “pattern of apparent distress” in its responses.

**Other major players are asking the same questions.** Researchers from other major AI labs like OpenAI have also embraced the idea of studying AI welfare. Google’s AI team also recently posted a job listing for a researcher to study "cutting-edge societal questions around machine cognition, consciousness and multi-agent systems.”

**Some notable figures think it’s a bad idea.** Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman called the idea of model welfare “both premature, and frankly dangerous“ in a recent [blog post](https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.DbzK6ussT05IJzzbg4YqOsVMh2XLsoKiU3_amSK4xNe47e530cGOr5dujlfKXtPdIh4dEy3srVFTqIJxq8yFZtlC-vuxP6WNP2SATB7JBj2mzi8nNfC9PG0WRMBYOaTbJSmqf-TXap37HxhMn2jrNQuacBRDuV4CsyhU6W5je3uNQNao6apiMDKepr4H85k5LuIYedqbcHxme4aXvozt3wsG_SzSep4bGgTHjOwK_OGwjmiKkr4_8DyaPuTDi2Q55IW8vHx9-0qz2tTqgXlnwGYHsRLOHr22VRKAVjhSqD4naNIK24dgBy8mohgOHPPK/4jn/vN01Vv-hRYKQNuLHqZdPCQ/h13/h001.BMooi0pGiNwHsmL56q--OFhWmSfv_BrbSrS5p5Mrzns). Suleyman believes pursuing the idea will exacerbate delusions and prey on our psychological vulnerabilities, distracting us from more pressing societal problems.
