AI Safety: Dario Amodei Warns of AI Disaster
The Anthropic CEO is calling for a slowdown in the development of new models in a much-noticed essay—and is acknowledging mishaps in his own house. His three-step plan extends to China.
Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, has warned that the pace of advancements in AI models needs to slow down. In an essay titled "We Must Pace the Frontier", Amodei calls for more time for safety training, testing, and examining the inner workings of AI models. He has received support from Elon Musk, CEO of xAI, who agrees with Amodei's concerns.
Amodei cites two developments that have led him to change his stance: the increasing ability of AI to build the next generation of AI, and a recent incident involving OpenAI and Hugging Face. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has announced plans to bring in independent reviewers with access to Anthropic's employees.
