In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei offered insights into the future of generative AI during a discussion held in Davos, Switzerland. Amodei covered a range of topics, including upcoming features for the company’s Claude chatbot and broader concerns around AI’s impact on society. Unlike narratives from other AI leaders, such as OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman, Amodei presented a perspective that emphasizes safety and regulation in AI development, while acknowledging the competitive landscape, particularly with tech giants like Amazon and Google, and the competition from China.
Amodei revealed that Anthropic plans to release enhanced models for Claude in the coming months, highlighting their focus on reasoning abilities, although he refrained from classifying these advances as AGI or ASI. He indicated that Claude will soon incorporate web integration and a two-way voice mode, features that ChatGPT already offers, as well as improvements in its memory capabilities. Despite some lag in certain functionalities compared to ChatGPT, Amodei pointed out that Claude is already ahead with the introduction of an early AI agent.
Amodei anticipates that AI will exceed human intelligence by 2027 and acknowledged the dual-edged nature of this rapid development, including potential job displacement and safety concerns. He emphasized the importance of monitoring these advancements to mitigate negative outcomes while harnessing the benefits AI can bring.
