Artificial Intelligence: An AI Boss Warns About The Risks (Dario Amodei)

Artificial intelligence is arguably the single biggest force
shaping our world today.


Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic which created AI
chatbot Claude, says that this technology has the potential to
revolutionise our lives but could also cause us significant harm
if we don’t regulate it properly.


Amol and Dario discuss how quickly large language models (LLMs)
like Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT are developing, the threat they
could pose to white-collar jobs and how his company’s chatbot
helped his sister through a difficult pregnancy.


They also talk about how AI could be used to carry out
cyberattacks and why there is a “fundamental difficulty of
control” at the centre of these models.
