In a statement on Tuesday, Dario Amodei, CEO of AI Startup Humanity, called the AI Action Summit in Paris this week “missing opportunities,” and called the AI industry and government “move faster and more clearly” I urged him to.
“We were delighted to be part of the AI Action Summit in Paris. We are grateful for the efforts of the French government to bring together AI companies, researchers and policymakers from around the world,” Amodey said. I did. “But given the pace at which technology is progressing, there needs to be a focus and urgency on some topics.”
Amodei’s criticism of the latest AI Action Summit in a series of conferences that are trying to bring together AI companies and regulators to reach a consensus on AI governance reflects that of several scholars earlier this week. One reported that the commitment of the conference, which the US and the UK refused to sign, “virtually nothing except praise.”
In comments at the conference, US Vice President JD Vance took a completely different stance, denounced what he characterized as “large” AI regulations defended by Europe. Vance also hinted at “sustainable” and “comprehensive” language in the conference’s commitment, rejecting it as “authoritarian censorship.”
In a statement, Amodei warned that AI is rapidly refined and that if not adjusted it, it could have disastrous consequences.
“The capabilities of AI systems can be seen as similar to the whole new state of inhabited by highly intelligent people who appear in the global stage,” Amodei said. “Advanced AI poses important global security risks stemming from the misuse of AI systems by non-state actors. We need to ensure democratic society leadership in AI, and authoritarian countries are globally militarized. We don’t use it to establish.
Amodei’s policy focuses on deploying resources to measure how AI is being used and “ensure everyone shares in a very powerful AI economy (ups).” urged the government to enact the He also advocated more government transparency about plans to assess AI risk when it comes to AI safety and security.
In contrast to Openai, the minutes of Amodai’s Paris AI Summit will be, in a statement this weekend, “another important milestone for the responsible and beneficial development of AI for all.” He said he was confident.
Humanity has generally shown more openness to AI regulations in the past. In fact, Amodei has made similar declarations before, warning that free AI could have very negative economic, social and security implications. Humanity is one of the few AI companies to implicitly support SB 1047 in California, a comprehensive and heavily debated AI regulation bill. Openai opposed a bill rejected by Gov. Gavin Newsom last fall.
It does not suggest that human motivations are purely charitable. Like Openai CEO Sam Altman’s recent essay, Amodei does not provide specific recommendations to ensure the benefits of powerful AI if it emerges in the near future.
