On Tuesday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted that AI models may surpass human capabilities "in almost everything" within two to three years, according to a Wall Street Journal interview [wsj.com] at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
[...]
Amodei co-founded Anthropic in 2021 with his sister Daniela Amodei and five other former OpenAI employees. Not long after, Anthropic emerged as a strong technological competitor to OpenAI's AI products (such as GPT-4 and ChatGPT). Most recently, its Claude 3.5 Sonnet [arstechnica.com] model has remained highly regarded among some AI users and highly ranked [arstechnica.com] among AI benchmarks.
[...]
Even with his dramatic predictions, Amodei distanced himself from a term for this advanced labor-replacing AI favored by Altman, "artificial general intelligence" (AGI), calling it in a separate CNBC interview [youtube.com] from the same event in Switzerland a marketing term [businessinsider.com].

Instead, he prefers to describe future AI systems as a "country of geniuses in a data center," he told CNBC.
