AI has the potential to shape human destiny, and therefore we deserve to understand it. Anthropic CEO has just remarked that nobody really knows how AI works.
Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO is puzzled by the enigmatic nature of AI. A summarisation of a document by generative AI does not give us any Idea as to how it chooses the sentences and certain words over others. And despite being accurate most of the times, why AI makes mistakes at times.
Those who build AI systems do not understand how their creations work. Of course,this is a matter of concern.
On one level, we can say it works on a huge dataset fed to it, and allows statistical systems to mine for patterns which can be reproduced. The entire effort is to get driven by ingested material.
In the history of technology, this lack of understanding is unprecedented.
The CEO of Anthropic and his sister Daniela left OpenAI in 2020 as they were concerned about the organisation’s safety practices. The Amodeis and some five more colleagues at OpenAI founded Anthropic in 2021. They want to build safer AI.
They want to figure out the inner workings of these AI systems.
