Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says people think governments are using AI ‘to screw them over’, and that’s why the tech is having a ‘a crisis of trust’ — and he’s exactly right
AI is having a 'crisis of trust' because it can't be trusted
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has expressed concern over the growing distrust surrounding AI technology. He believes that people perceive governments and companies as "cooking up some new way to screw them over," which has led to a "crisis of trust." Amodei acknowledges that AI companies, including his own, have failed to deliver on their promises to benefit society.
However, he argues that AI is increasingly being deployed in critical areas such as the US military, law enforcement, and intelligence gathering infrastructure. The question remains whether people are correct in their distrust, given the expanding role of AI in surveillance and control.
