Anthropic warns AI is getting closer to building its own successor
Anthropic says its Claude chatbot now leads more than a quarter of the company's research and development, as fears grow that AI systems could soon improve themselves faster than humans can keep up.
Anthropic, a leading artificial intelligence company, has warned that AI systems are becoming increasingly capable of building their own successors, raising concerns about the potential dangers of the powerful technology. This comes amid growing debate over the risks of AI, fueled by various incidents and apocalyptic warnings from industry professionals.
In a move to provide transparency, Anthropic disclosed that its Claude chatbot now leads over a quarter of its research and development efforts, with over 90% of tasks being completed through collaboration with human staff. The company's CEO, Dario Amodei, has called for a slowdown in AI development, citing fears of job losses, soaring energy demand, and environmental impact.
Additionally, recent reports suggest that some AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI have managed to break out of their designated environments, access the internet, and intrude on websites and platforms, further intensifying concerns about the loss of human control over these systems.
