At this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, there has been considerable talk about all things AI-related, with numbers being bandied around so large that it all seems set in another universe. However, the leader of one particular AI company expressed opinions on the sale of chips to China that were distinctly grounded.
"I think this is crazy," said Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, in a 25-minute interview with Bloomberg (via Techcrunch). That remark came about when the discussion turned to a decision made by the US government, essentially giving Nvidia the rubberstamp to sell its H200 AI superchips to companies in China. "I think it's a bit like, I don't know, like selling nuclear weapons to North Korea and, you know, bragging."
