Anthropic’s Break With the Pentagon Ignites AI Ethics Debate
AI developer Anthropic is in a major dispute with the U.S. government over the ethical and moral dimensions of AI development.
“You can imagine an alternate universe where Dario Amodei just said, ‘Okay, we’ll sign it. It’s no big deal.’ They would be doing fine as a business, and the rest of the world would not be talking about AI ethics right now. [But] this universe that we’re living in is one that has been fundamentally changed in a lot of ways because somebody decided to take an ethical stand. I think that’s important,” Green said.
