According to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, the rebound of AI is essentially due to a lack of trust among the public towards technology companies and the government, and it is not solely caused by risk warnings.

Anthropic 首席执行官 Dario Amodei 近日回应外界批评称,美国社会对 AI 的反弹,本质上不是因为行业高管过度强调风险,而是公众长期缺乏信任。按他的说法,普通人对科技公司、政府和整个技术行业本就抱有戒心,AI 只是这一情绪在新技术上的最新体现。

回应过度悲观批评

这番表态来自他与投资人 Gavin Baker 的一轮公开交锋。后者此前在播客和社交平台上表示,Amodei 对 AI 风险的持续警告,助长了美国社会对 AI 的反感,尤其加剧了围绕数据中心建设的阻力。

Baker 还称,Amodei 在 AI 监管问题上“已经输掉了这场争论”。他认为,作为全球重要 AI 公司之一的负责人,Amodei 应该更积极地为整个行业发声,而不是持续释放偏负面的信号。

Amodei 不认同这一说法。他表示,自己过去的公开写作对 AI 的风险与收益“基本保持平衡”。他还提到,自己写下《Machines of Loving Grace》一文,是因为他认为 AI 行业此前并没有充分描绘这项技术如何改善世界。

负面观感不只来自警告

尽管如此,Amodei 也承认,公众目前对 AI 的看法偏负面,而且这确实是个大问题。但他认为,把这种情绪主要归因于少数 AI 高管的风险警示,并不准确。

按照他的说法,更深层的问题在于信任流失。公众往往怀疑企业和政府会借助新技术损害普通人的利益,因此 AI 很容易成为不满情绪的承载对象。

他还表示,这种信任危机并不是 AI 时代才出现的现象,而是已经积累了数十年。如今围绕 AI 的争议,只是这一更广泛问题的延续。

监管不等于只利好巨头

在监管问题上,Amodei 也反驳了另一种常见看法,即“要么放任 AI 广泛扩散,要么通过监管把技术集中到少数公司手中”。他认为,这是一种过于简单的二元对立。

他指出,硅谷内部常把监管直接等同于“监管俘获”和权力集中,但在更广泛的社会语境里,很多人会把监管视为限制企业权力、保护普通人的工具。

Amodei 表示,Anthropic 在提出政策建议时一直比较谨慎,目标并不是借监管巩固头部公司的地位,而是尽量让前沿 AI 公司放慢速度,同时给规模较小的竞争者创造更有利的空间。

先兑现承诺才是关键

相比外界对“传播方式”和“营销口径”的争论,Amodei 认为,对 AI 公司更准确的批评在于,它们至今还没有充分兑现“让世界受益”的承诺。

他表示,这一点应由包括 Anthropic 在内的 AI 公司承担责任。对行业来说,真正的问题不是谁把话说得更乐观,而是谁能更快拿出可验证的成果,证明 AI 的确能带来广泛而具体的好处。

Anthropic Reported to be in talks to acquire Decart: Behind the $6 billion deal is a competition for "computing power efficiency" among AI companies
Anthropic is in talks to acquire artificial intelligence startup Decart, with the reported transaction amount being around $6 billion. The news was initially disclosed by Bloomberg, and Axios followed up with a report on August 13th. The most important point to note here is that both parties are still in the negotiation phase; the transaction has not been completed, and the negotiations may also end. The $6 billion figure refers to the potential size of the deal as mentioned in the reports, not the actual acquisition price that has been paid, nor should it be considered the final valuation of Decart.
