OpenAI faces Democratic backlash over AI data center expansion - Fox News

20 hours ago Pinned Anthropic uses AI to accelerate model development amid calls to slow down Anthropic is using artificial intelligence to accelerate development of its own AI models, even as CEO Dario Amodei has warned about the risks of advancing the technology too quickly, according to research reported Thursday by The Associated Press. Researchers at the nonprofit Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR) found that Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, is improving its AI systems on certain measurable tasks at roughly twice its previous pace. The findings, based on an 11-week review of internal data and employee interviews, suggest Anthropic's growing reliance on AI to help build more advanced models is driving much of the acceleration, rather than increases in computing power alone. The rapid progress highlights a challenge facing AI developers: increasingly capable systems could help create their successors faster than companies can evaluate potential safety risks. Researchers cautioned that their estimates carry substantial uncertainty and may not apply to more complex tasks. Posted by Brittany Miller Share
