My view is that you need to steer AI in the right direction. It’s as if a tsunami is coming at us, and yet people are coming up with these explanations that it’s not actually a tsunami. That’s just a trick of life,” he said.

“For most things, we’re increasingly close to what I’ve called a country of geniuses in a data centre, a set of AI agents that are more capable than most humans at most things, and can coordinate at superhuman speed. That level of capability is something the world has never seen before, and brings a very wide range of both opportunities and concerns for humanity,” said Amodei.
