Anthropic’s chief scientist Jared Kaplan is making some grave predictions about humanity’s future with AI. Such a point is fast approaching, he says in a new interview with The Guardian. By 2030, Kaplan predicts, or as soon as 2027, humanity will have to decide whether to take the “ultimate risk” of letting AI models train themselves. Kaplan’s boss, CEO Dario Amodei, recently warned AI could take over half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, and accused his competitors of “sugarcoating” just how badly AI will disrupt society. “Maybe the best AI ever is the AI that we have right now,” he mused.
