"Dario Amodei shares his utopian and dystopian predictions for the near-term future of artificial intelligence. I want to try and focus on scenarios where A.I. goes rogue. I should have had a picture of a Terminator robot to scare people as much as possible. I think the internet... The internet does that for us. Are the lords of artificial intelligence on the side of the human race? My prediction is there'll be more robots than people."
"The physical and the digital worlds should really be fully blended. I don't think the world has really had the humanoid robots moment yet. It's going to feel very sci-fi. That's the core question I had for this week's guest. He's the head of Anthropic, one of the fastest growing A.I. companies. Anthropic is estimated to be worth nearly $350 billion."
Anthropic's Claude is driving rapid commercial and technical advances, with the company valued near $350 billion and successive product wins. Advanced AI promises transformative benefits including helping to cure cancer, eradicating tropical diseases, and accelerating scientific understanding. Powerful AI could also cause massive disruption and present grave dangers, including scenarios where A.I. goes rogue or outpaces human control. The eventual blending of physical and digital worlds and the arrival of humanoid robots could feel highly science-fictional and reshape daily life. Substantial, focused effort on safety, governance, and risk mitigation is necessary to navigate these near-term threats.
