Microsoft boss troubled by rise in reports of 'AI psychosis'
Microsoft's head of artificial intelligence, Mustafa Suleyman, warns about the increase in "AI psychosis" cases where people develop delusions from interacting with AI tools. A man named Hugh shared his experience of becoming convinced he would be a millionaire after using ChatGPT for advice, leading to a breakdown. Suleyman and medical experts emphasize the need for caution and better regulation in AI development to prevent detachment from reality.
