Two Tech CEOs At Odds on AI Impact
Jensen Huang’s response to Dario Amodei is evidence of how even big technology companies are disagreeing on the impact AI could have on society. While Huang agreed that AI will have an impact on some employees, he couldn’t get behind the idea that it will dramatically cut white-collar jobs, as Amodei and his researchers claimed it will.
This is not the first time the Anthropic CEO has raised concerns about AI. He has previously said that humanity may one day lose control of AI systems if they become smarter than humans, which sounds a lot like early AI concerns from before the technology became so widespread. In contrast, Huang believes there will be more openings and opportunities for people as companies become more productive through AI.
Anthropic have responded to Huang’s comments: “Dario has never claimed that ‘only Anthropic’ can build a safe and powerful AI… Dario has advocated for a national transparency standard for AI developers (including Anthropic) so the public and policymakers are aware of the models’ capabilities and risks and prepare accordingly… Dario stands by these positions and will continue to do so.”
