Dario Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic, envisions AI as a powerful ally in promoting democracy, particularly in regions suffering under authoritarian rule. Citing statistics showing that over 70% of the global population lives under such regimes, he emphasizes the need for ethical AI development. Drawing inspiration from democratic activist SrÄa PopoviÄ, Amodei argues that AI can be trained to support nonviolent resistance and human rights, potentially ushering in an era of democratic governance if aligned with humanity's core values.
Programmed with the right values, AI could help campaigns for democracy around the world. AI tools could digest huge volumes of literature on pro-democracy movements.
More than 70% of the world lives under authoritarian rule, a number that has risen in recent decades.
If AI has the wrong values programmed into it, it could easily threaten human life, especially if emboldened by an authoritarian government.
Dario Amodei argues that thoughtful AI development could lead to a utopian future across many sectors, including governance and economic development.
