Interpreting AI
In a recent blog post, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said we need to understand how AI works urgently in order to steer it towards outcomes that are in humanity’s best interests. “Over the last few months, I have become increasingly focused on…the tantalizing possibility, opened up by some recent advances, that we could succeed at interpretability—that is, in understanding the inner workings of AI systems—before models reach an overwhelming level of power,” wrote Amodei, noting that modern generative AI systems are opaque in a way that fundamentally differs from traditional software.
