India must use AI to make governance efficient, citizen-centric: Anthropic CEO

BENGALURU: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said even as artificial intelligence technology produces great value, it will also bring big economic turmoil. So it is important, he said, to ensure everyone shares in the benefits, and urged India, as the world’s largest democracy, to use AI to make governance more efficient and citizen-centric. “That’s a really valuable use of the technology,” Amodei said at the maiden edition of Anthropic’s Builder Summit in Bengaluru on Monday.

Anthropic, valued at $380 billion and whose AI products are used widely by enterprises to make coding more efficient, recently launched a slew of new tools for other enterprise functions like legal, sales and marketing that caused a collapse in the share prices of software and IT services companies around the world.
