He built AI... now he wants the government to KILL it

He built AI... now he wants the government to KILL it. With an urgent warning tonight about artificial intelligence, his concerns about how quickly it's developing, why he's urging other AI companies to slow down and why he's calling for immediate government regulation of his own industry. In the midst of a global artificial intelligence race, tonight Dario Amodei, the CEO of the powerful AI company Anthropic, delivered an urgent warning about its dangers and is proposing the government should step in. We need to collect better data on what's happening, right? There's been a lot of debate about what's happening in the labor market with AI now and what will happen in the future. In a lengthy essay, Amodei, whose company is valued at nearly $1 trillion, says AI is advancing at a lightning pace with no oversight, saying the government should be allowed to legally block or halt dangerous AI models if they pose a threat to public safety. How much of an onus falls on you, falls on Anthropic? Where is the responsibility to make sure that you're creating a safe product that doesn't create a worst case scenario? Yeah, I mean I think I think we're building it, the onus is on us, right? I think the government has a role in setting standards and helping us identify and track down threats, so the government has to do its part as well and I think the government is starting to do its part. Um, but the onus primarily falls on us. How do you account for countries such as China to be good actors, responsible citizens when it comes to artificial intelligence overall? I don't think they will be on their own. If we are the ones who are leading in AI, which I think we should continue to do, then it is it is easier to get our adversaries to agree to at least some minimal amount of restraint. I don't think we're going to get a lot. I I I don't I don't trust China at all.
