The Biggest Moments from the 2025 TIME100 Dinner in Davos
Briefly

At the TIME100 Davos Dinner preceding the 55th World Economic Forum, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discussed the realities and limits of powerful AI. He suggested that the technology's potential must be approached with seriousness, being mindful of constraints in human institutions and physical laws. He expressed concerns over rising wealth concentration, drawing parallels with historical figures like John Rockefeller. Amodei warned that without proper intervention, AI could exacerbate economic disparities significantly, stressing the urgency for public dialogue about these issues.
We have to be very serious about when this actually happens, what is possible and what exists. What are the bounds that are provided by physics, by the limits in human institutions.
