Amodei Warns AI Presents Existential Risks

Anthropic founder Dario Amodei published a 38-page essay Monday titled "The Adolescence of Technology," warning that continued AI progress could produce superintelligence and unprecedented risks. He outlines scenarios—including a hypothetical "country of geniuses" circa 2027—that could outpace nations and enable misuse, autonomy risks, and power seizures. Amodei urges stricter oversight even as Anthropic continues building powerful models.
