AI for, not of the people

Mustafa Suleyman in We must build AI for people; not to be a person:

Simply put, my central worry is that many people will start to believe in the illusion of AIs as conscious entities so strongly that they’ll soon advocate for AI rights, model welfare and even AI citizenship. This development will be a dangerous turn in AI progress and deserves our immediate attention.

I do not think this is far fetched. Case in point. And it does, indeed, deserve our immediate attention.
