Dario Amodei — Machines of Loving Grace
I think and talk a lot about the risks of powerful AI. The company I’m the CEO of, Anthropic, does a lot of research on how to reduce these risks. Because of this, people sometimes draw the conclusion that I’m a pessimist or “doomer” who thinks AI will be mostly bad or dangerous. I don’t think that at all. In fact, one of my main reasons for focusing on risks is that they’re the only thing standing between us and what I see as a fundamentally positive future. […] In this essay I try to sketch out what that upside might look like–what a world with powerful AI might look like if everything goes right.
Very interesting article from the head of Anthropic about what benefits we might see if powerful AI is created.
I hope something close to this is the version of the future we get, rather than Terminator.
