BEIJING — China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong disapproval on Monday at the recent comments made by Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, regarding the need for the U.S. to limit China's artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. In a detailed article published on Saturday, Amodei expressed concern that a "Chinese lead in AI would pose grave danger for the United States and the world."
He further advocated for continued restrictions on the sale of advanced AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China to maintain the U.S.'s technological advantage.
In response to the controversy, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jiakun, firmly rejected Amodei's dire predictions about China. Jiakun emphasized that such fearmongering, confrontation, and competitive rivalry would only disrupt the global governance of AI, serving no one's best interests. The spokesperson stated that all parties should cooperate in the development and regulation of AI technology.
Chinese leaders have previously expressed apprehensions about AI, warning of the potential risks posed by foreign entities with advanced capabilities.
