Debates over AI consciousness are a trap
In an opinion piece for MIT Technology Review, AI ethics specialist Rumman Chowdhury argues that focusing on speculative AI consciousness misdirects policy discourse. Chowdhury highlights how tech leaders including Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman promote regulatory attention toward autonomous, runaway systems. The commentary asserts that anthropomorphizing AI agents as sentient or hostile creates a rhetorical trap, diverting regulatory and corporate scrutiny away from practical, immediate AI governance challenges.
