We’re Thinking About Deploying AI Models Which Have An “I Quit” Button: Anthropic CEO

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposes giving AI models an “I quit” button, allowing them to opt out of tasks they find unpleasant. This idea stems from a philosophical discussion about the potential sentience and welfare of AI models, raising ethical questions about respecting their preferences and ensuring their well-being. While seemingly radical, the “I quit” button prompts a reevaluation of AI development, deployment, and our responsibilities as creators.
