“We will never build a sex robot,” says Mustafa Suleyman


Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, is trying to walk a fine line. On the one hand, he thinks that the industry is taking AI in a dangerous direction by building chatbots that present as human. On the other hand, he runs a product shop that must compete with those peers. 

In this conversation with MIT Technology Review, Suleyman discussed AI as a digital species, why he believes “seemingly conscious artificial intelligence” is a problem, and why Microsoft would never build sex robots (his words).
