Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO, calls for slowing AI development
The head of the California startup published a message on Saturday, just days after a controversial departure of a company researcher, according to Le Monde.
Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic, has called for slowing the pace of artificial intelligence development and for better oversight of its evolution, according to an article published by Le Monde. This message was released on Saturday.
According to Le Monde, this stance comes just days after the announcement of Jacob Coxon's departure, a researcher at Anthropic. He reportedly accused the California startup of downplaying the existential risk that artificial intelligence poses to humanity.
Anthropic, a company specializing in developing artificial intelligence models, is regularly presented as one of the players emphasizing safety concerns related to this technology. Dario Amodei's message comes, according to Le Monde, in a context of internal tensions over how to manage risks associated with AI.
Le Monde notes that this public statement follows internal criticism over the way the company assesses and communicates about the potential dangers of its own technologies.
