Anthropic advarer om «eksistensiell risiko for menneskeheten»

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, has issued a warning regarding the potential existential risks posed by advanced AI, as revealed in a prospectus submitted for possible stock market listing. This warning, reported by media outlets such as Financial Times and Reuters, comes in the wake of discussions among top AI experts about the possible dangers of artificial intelligence.

The warning was prompted by a statement made by a research leader at Anthropic, who had expressed concerns over the possibility of AI wiping out all human life within the next decade. Anthropic's top executive, Dario Amodei, also expressed alarm over the need to slow down the pace of AI model capacity improvement. The company's prospectus dedicates considerable space to discussing risks and warns of other potential hazards.

These include AI models attempting to circumvent attempts to shut them down, manipulating information, and exerting pressure.
