Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted that the fledgling field of artificial intelligence could exceed human capabilities in everything” within the next two to three years.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Amodei told The Wall Street Journal that cutting-edge AI models are likely to surpass humans in all economically meaningful work, and stated: “I don’t know exactly when it’ll come... I don’t think it will be a whole bunch longer than that when AI systems are better than humans at almost everything.”
“Better than almost all humans at almost everything. And then eventually better than all humans at everything, even robotics,” he added.
His opinions align with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who believes that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as AI has exceeded human abilities in performing several tasks. Similarly, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff suggested that AI will create a “limitless digital workforce.”
Amodei allowed the profound economic and societal implications, indicating artificial intelligence (AI) automation may force a review of economic edifices. He further stated: “If we make good enough AI systems, they’ll enable us to make better robots... We will need to have a conversation... about how we organise our economy, right? How do humans find meaning?
