The article discusses Anthropic, an artificial intelligence (AI) research company, and its ambitious goal of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) by 2024. AGI refers to AI systems that can match or exceed human intelligence across a wide range of tasks. According to the article, Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, warned employees that they may have only three years left to work on AGI before it is achieved. The company believes that once AGI is developed, it will rapidly become superintelligent, potentially leading to an “intelligence explosion” that could reshape the world. Anthropic is pursuing a “constitutional AI” approach, aiming to create AI systems that are aligned with human values and interests. The article highlights the intense competition among AI companies like Anthropic, DeepMind, and OpenAI to achieve AGI, which is considered a major technological milestone.
