Saturday Night Live spoofs Dario Amodei’s AI warnings on Weekend Update
On September 26, Saturday Night Live premiered its new season with a Weekend Update segment that featured a spoof of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei played by Jane Wickline in a wig. The skit presented two versions of Amodei, one trying to appear reassuring and the other expressing stark warnings about artificial intelligence. The second version, with its cautionary statements, dominated the dialogue.
Amodei's character vehemently declared that AI was evil and he was its creator. When asked about the industry's stance, the character maintained that they did not condone their own actions. Even the segment's attempt to find a silver lining fell short, as Amodei's character claimed there was a mere 10% chance AI would not solve cancer within ten years.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has previously called for a slower pace of AI development to allow for safety measures and shared standards to oversee progress.
