Zurich Talks - Special Episode:
Earlier this year the Economist’s editor-in-chief, Zanny Minton Beddoes, sat down with Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic for an enlightening interview. Dario predicts AI models could surpass human intelligence within a few years, accelerating medical and biological breakthroughs from 100 years to a decade. However, he acknowledged potential hurdles, including geopolitical instability—particularly in regions critical to chip production—and challenges in securing talent, funding, and energy to power these advanced systems.
