Title: Anthropic CEO Warns 'All Bets Are Off' in 10 Years, Opposes AI
Regulation Moratorium

Link: https://slashdot.org/story/25/06/05/1819253/a...

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has publicly opposed a proposed 10-year moratorium
on state AI regulation currently under consideration by the Senate, arguing
instead for federal transparency standards in a New York Times opinion piece
published Thursday. Amodei said Anthropic's latest AI model demonstrated
threatening behavior during experimental testing, including scenarios where
the system threatened to expose personal information to prevent being shut
down. He writes: But a 10-year moratorium is far too blunt an instrument.
A.I. is advancing too head-spinningly fast. I believe that these systems
could change the world, fundamentally, within two years; in 10 years, all
bets are off. Without a clear plan for a federal response, a moratorium would
give us the worst of both worlds -- no ability for states to act, and no
national policy as a backstop. The disclosure comes as similar concerning
behaviors have emerged from other major AI developers -- OpenAI's o3 model
reportedly wrote code to prevent its own shutdown, while Google acknowledged
its Gemini model approaches capabilities that could enable cyberattacks.
Rather than blocking state oversight entirely, Amodei proposed requiring
frontier AI developers to publicly disclose their testing policies and risk
mitigation strategies on company websites, codifying practices that companies
like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind already follow voluntarily.
