Dario Amodei on future of AI

Unproofread notes

Came across this great blog post titled Machines of Loving Grace by the CEO of Anthropic Dario Amodei. He makes great points for how the upside of the future of AI is going to be great.

I think that most people are underestimating just how radical the upside of AI could be, just as I think most people are underestimating how bad the risks could be.

Although I think most people underestimate the upside of powerful AI, the small community of people who do discuss radical AI futures often does so in an excessively “sci-fi” tone (featuring e.g. uploaded minds, space exploration, or general cyberpunk vibes). I think this causes people to take the claims less seriously, and to imbue them with a sort of unreality.

The five categories I am most excited about are:

  1. Biology and physical health
  2. Neuroscience and mental health
  3. Economic development and poverty
  4. Peace and governance
  5. Work and meaning

And then he goes on to discussing each of these area in super detail. I read through the post, and have a whole new perspective about the future of AI.
