At the AI Action Summit in Paris, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei described the event as a "missed opportunity" due to insufficient focus on pressing AI issues. Despite acknowledging the French government's efforts in gathering global players, Amodei stressed the need for faster regulatory frameworks as AI technologies progress swiftly. His critique mirrored sentiments from academics, who dismissed the summit's commitments as platitudes. Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance opposed European regulations he deemed stifling, highlighting a divide in approaches to AI governance. Amodei warned about the global security risks posed by advanced AI systems and stressed the importance of democratic leadership in this sphere.
We were pleased to attend the AI Action Summit in Paris, and we appreciate the French government's efforts to bring together AI companies, researchers, and policymakers from across the world. However, greater focus and urgency is needed on several topics given the pace at which the technology is progressing.
The capabilities of AI systems will be best thought of as akin to an entirely new state populated by highly intelligent people appearing on the global stage. Advanced AI presents significant global security dangers, ranging from misuse of AI systems by non-state actors ... We must ensure democratic societies lead in AI, and that authoritarian countries do not use it to establish global military.
