Summary
Dario Amodei, born in 1983, is an American AI researcher and entrepreneur, and the co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, the company behind the Claude large language model series. Previously, he served as the vice president of research at OpenAI, where he notably led the development of GPT-2 and GPT-3. Amodei has been cited as a proponent of "AI Doomerism," a perspective that highlights widespread fears of job displacement due to artificial intelligence. This viewpoint has been linked by some, including David Sachs, to an ideological-industrial complex rooted in Effective Altruism, which receives funding from philanthropists like Dustin Moskovitz through Open Philanthropy. Concerns have been raised that this perspective may influence governmental policies on global AI governance, potentially impacting the United States' competitive position in the global AI race and fostering a 'Woke AI' environment.
