Jensen to AI Leaders: “We have to be far more thoughtful” when communicating to the public

It is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious. It is computer software. We say things like we don't understand it at all. It is not true. We understand a lot of things about this technology. >> If you were in the seat in the boardroom of Anthropic over that whole scuttlebutt with the department of war, what would do you think you would have told Daario and that team to do maybe differently to try to change some of this outcome and some of this perception? The first thing that I would say about anthropic is first of all the technology is incredible. We are a large consumer of anthropic technology. Yeah. The desire

to warn people about the capability of the technology is also really terrific. We just have to make sure that we understand that the world has a spectrum and that warning is good, scaring is less good because this technology is too important to us. I think that it is fine to predict the future but we need to be a little bit more circumspect. We need to have a little bit more humility that in fact we can't completely predict the future and to say things that are quite extreme, quite catastrophic, that there's no evidence of it happening could be more damaging than people think. And of course we are technology leaders, there was a time when nobody

listened to us. Yeah. >> Um but now because technology is so important in the social fabric, such an important industry, so important to national security, our words do matter. And I think we have to be much more circumspect. We have to be more moderate. We have to be more balanced.
