Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has a warning for Google, Microsoft, Amazon and other tech giants. In an interview with Axios recently, Amodei warned fellow AI titans that “you’re going to get a mob coming for you if you don’t do this in the right way.” “You can’t just go around saying we’re going to create all this abundance, a lot of it is going to go to us, and we’re going to be trillionaires, and no one’s going to complain about that,” Amodei said, adding “Look, you’re going to get a mob coming for you if you don’t do this in the right way.“Amodei’s comments come after he published a 19,000-word essay called “The Adolescence of Technology,” where he laid out his vision for the future of AI. In the essay, he wrote that while AI will turn the heads of some tech companies into trillionaires, it needs to be treated like a “serious civilizational challenge” to humanity.

During the interview, Dario Amodei urged the need for more robots tax policies to ensure a broader distribution of the “abundance” that AI will create. “I don’t think this is the tax policies of old,” he said. “This is for a world where people are trillionaires.”In his essay, he wrote that the taxation could be “general or could be targeted against AI companies in particular.”

AI data centers don’t ‘use that much water’: Dario Amodei

Stating that public’s concerns about AI aren’t always “well-targeted”, Amodei argued that AI data centers don’t “use that much water”. On the other hand, he termed concerns about electricity bills “understandable” but only a minor part of the conversation.“I think in the long run, it’s not about power bills, it’s about enormous abundance, and whether they get their piece of the abundance,” he said during the interview.
