On Monday, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed displeasure at Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call for the U.S. to limit China's artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Amodei's warnings, detailed in a recent essay, suggested that a Chinese lead in AI would be detrimental to the U.S. and global stability. He advocated for continued limits on the sale of advanced AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China, in an effort to maintain the U.S.'s technological advantage.
In response to Amodei's essay, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized his dire predictions about China's AI progress. The spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, emphasized that fearmongering, confrontation, and competitive tension would only hinder global AI governance, and that all parties should cooperate instead. This reaction from Beijing comes as Chinese leaders have also expressed concerns about AI, warning of potential risks from foreign entities with advanced capabilities.
