In a 3,800-word essay, Dario Amodei laid out the rapidly advancing capabilities of artificial intelligence and said there needed to be greater safety controls across the industry.
From Stephen Hawking to today's AI researchers, warnings about artificial intelligence have grown louder as the technology advances.
The White House, Congress and the country's leading AI companies have allowed AI to grow faster, stronger, more powerful and wildly lucrative (and dangerous), with no serious effort to control it or spread the benefits beyond the super-wealthy. - It's not too late to change this. But if they all dither, duck or dance around it, the chances of AI worst-case scenarios will explode, likely early next year, according to almost every person we talk to privately who truly understands AI. Why it matters: The technology is getting better, faster than anyone envisioned — with the possibility rising that AI will self-improve and do wildly unpredictable things. - The good news: There's now a growing public cry for attention and action and, at…
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for an immediate slowdown in the pace of AI development, warning of potentially devastating consequences in a matter of months otherwise. Why it matters: Amodei, in a new essay , pulls no punches, cautioning that swarms of rogue AI agents could take over the internet in as little as six months from now. Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

By Mario Alexis Portella What happens when AI says to us, ‘I’m afraid I can’t do that’?
The AI safety debate exploded this week over warnings that the technology could one day destroy humanity. - Anthropic's latest threat report offers a more immediate wake-up call: Today's models are already helping U.S. adversaries develop kamikaze drones, hunt dissidents and conduct dangerous virus research . Why it matters: AI is tearing down barriers that have long constrained the world's most dangerous actors. A handful of people can now mount operations that once required legions of spies, engineers or hackers. Driving the news: Anthropic — the safety-focused lab behind Claude — says it spent the past eight months tracking and disrupting attempts to misuse its models. Among the most alarming cases it uncovered: 1. An…
Chris Cuomo questions President Trump’s promise at the GOP Midterm Convention to give $5,000 to each adult American if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate in November. Cuomo argues it would be better to ensure workers receive the fair wages they are seeking as labor’s share of the economy falls to its lowest level in decades. He then examines the growing divide within the Democratic Party and what Democrats need to do before November. With Democrats projected to have a chance to win the House and gain seats in the Senate, Democratic strategist James Carville weighs in. Ohio could be a warning sign for Republicans. Trump won Ohio by 11 points in 2024, but Democrats are tied or leading in the state’s two biggest statewide…
