In this podcast, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, explores the swift progress in AI technology and its potential safety and societal implications. He points out the unexpected success of scaling AI models through increased computing power and data, despite the unclear reasons behind it. Amodei anticipates that we could see human-level AI capabilities in just two to three years, which raises alarms about possible misuse, particularly in bioweapons development. He stresses the urgent need for strong safety measures and international collaboration to navigate this powerful technology. While he acknowledges the uncertainties in aligning AI with human values, Amodei emphasizes Anthropic's commitment to mechanistic interpretability, aiming to enhance our understanding and control of AI systems. He advocates for a careful, evidence-based approach to both the development and deployment of AI.
