BEIJING — China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed dissatisfaction on Monday with the Anthropic CEO's calls for the U.S. to limit China's artificial intelligence capabilities as part of a global slowdown in AI development. In a detailed article released on Saturday, Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, expressed concern that a "Chinese lead in AI would present a grave danger for the United States and the world."
Amodei urged the U.S. to maintain restrictions on the sale of advanced AI chips and equipment to China to preserve its technological advantage.
Responding to the CEO's warnings, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Amodei of "fearmongering, confrontation, and vicious competition," stating that such actions would disrupt global AI governance and serve no one's interest. The spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, made these remarks at a press conference in reaction to queries about Amodei's essay.
Chinese leaders have also expressed reservations about AI, highlighting the potential risks posed by foreign entities with advanced capabilities.
