AI DEVELOPMENT
Understanding AI Welfare: Anthropic Opens the Conversation

Anthropic has launched a new research program focused on “model welfare,” aiming to tackle the complex ethical questions surrounding the possibility that future AI systems might one day be conscious—or warrant moral consideration.

The program will explore several core areas: building frameworks to assess AI consciousness, identifying signs of AI preferences or distress, and investigating potential interventions.

In 2024, Anthropic brought on its first AI welfare researcher, Kyle Fish, who has been studying machine consciousness and estimates there's a 15% chance that current models are already conscious.

This initiative comes amid rapidly advancing AI capabilities and follows a recent report—co-authored by Fish—that argues AI consciousness could emerge in the near future.

Anthropic acknowledges the deep uncertainty surrounding these questions and points out that there is currently no scientific consensus on whether AI systems, now or in the future, can be conscious.

Why it matters: As AI grows more powerful, figures like Sam Altman have likened it to an alien form of intelligence. If models cross an undefined line into consciousness, our ethical responsibilities toward them could radically shift—setting the stage for intense debate over the rights and treatment of AI systems.
