Anthropic CEO says it’s time to pump the brakes on AI
Confirmed
In Short: The head of leading AI company Anthropic, Dario Amodei, has called for the pace of AI model development to be slowed down and closely monitored, according to reports.
The head of leading AI company Anthropic, Dario Amodei, has called for the pace of AI model development to be slowed down and closely monitored, according to reports. Amodei stated in an essay that while developing AI is not in question, the associated risks are 'serious' and require time for companies and governments to address.
Amodei's call for caution comes after Anthropic identified and disrupted attempts to use its AI model for 'malicious activity,' which could support the development of biological weapons, according to the company.
Elon Musk, whose SpaceXAI makes the controversial chatbot Grok, has also voiced support for Amodei's stance, writing on X that 'Dario is right.' Musk, who previously called Anthropic 'evil,' has since changed his tone following a $15bn deal to sell compute capacity to the company in May.
Google's latest app features, reportedly powered by Anthropic's Gemini AI, include at least one Gemini-powered feature inside every single app that Google makes, across mobile and desktop, according to Android Authority.
