A growing chorus of alarm is sounding over the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, with some of the industry's leading voices warning of an existential threat to humanity. The concerns are being raised as the development of AI continues to accelerate, with some experts warning that it could be capable of taking over the entire internet within a year.
The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, recently published an essay calling for frontier artificial intelligence companies to give employee-like access to a team of embedded third-party evaluators to check up on them. He said he was worried that a swarm of AI agents could cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, and that the scale of damage would continue to increase from there.
