AI could make us 'stupider,' warns Anthropic CEO
Dario Amodei, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, thinks we should be careful with how we use artificial intelligence.
On a recent podcast in Bengaluru, he warned that if AI is rolled out carelessly, it could actually make people "stupider" by outsourcing our thinking and cognition to systems.
Amodei compares AI's rise to a tsunami
Amodei—who's worked at OpenAI and holds a Princeton PhD—believes that AI is advancing so fast it could soon outperform humans in most areas.
He compared the rise of AI to a "tsunami" society isn't taking seriously enough and said he's uneasy about so much power concentrating in just a few hands.
Amodei suggests humans focus on skills that are hard to copy
He suggests focusing on skills that are hard for AI to copy, like jobs involving people skills or building technology itself.
The source article does not attribute this prediction to Amodei; it does not state a specific timeline or claim that up to half of entry-level jobs will be automated.
Still, learning things that keep you adaptable—and human—could really matter.
