Robots & Artificial IntelligenceThe CEO of Anthropic Just Admitted Something That Should Concern Everyone Using AI Posted on April 9, 2026 by Administrator You know that chilling moment when the head of a major AI company admits they don’t even know if their creation is conscious, and they’re already hiring “AI welfare researchers” to figure out if machines deserve rights? That’s the bombshell from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on a recent New York Times podcast. When asked if their AI models are conscious, Amodei didn’t deny it — he said, “We don’t know if the models are conscious… and we’re open to the possibility that they could be.” Think about that: the people building these systems can’t rule out that they’re creating sentient beings. THIS IS WAY MORE SCARY THAN PEOPLE REALIZE.
