Dario Amade is the CEO of Enthropix, a company that builds chatbots. He has worked at almost all of the major AI companies including Google and Baidu. In an interview with Hardfork he talks about his background in physics before working on AI safety. The first time he became concerned was when he read Ray Kurzweil's book "The Singularity Is Near"
Dario Amodei has been anxious about A.I. since before it was cool to be anxious about A.I. After a few years working at OpenAI, he decided to do something about that anxiety. The result was Claude: an A.I.-powered chatbot built by Anthropic, Mr. Amodei’s A.I. start-up.
Today, Mr. Amodei joins Kevin and Casey to talk about A.I. anxiety and why it’s so difficult to build A.I. safely.
Plus, we watched Netflix’s “Deep Fake Love.”
