India has a cardinal relation to play amid challenges astir autonomous behaviour of AI models, their imaginable for being misused by individuals and governments, and for having the capableness of economical displacement, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said connected Thursday.
During his code astatine India AI Impact Summit 2026, Amodei said India has historically acceptable a modular for the Global South, and has helped diffuse exertion and humanitarian benefits done the Global South.
Amodei said advances successful artificial quality implicit the past years person been "absolutely staggering", arsenic helium reflected connected the 4th planetary AI acme since the process began astatine Bletchley Park successful 2023.
