Amodei on AI: 25% chance things go badly

Dario Amodei’s milestone timeline

No milestone timing was established. Dates, “not sure,” “possibly never,” and dependencies can all appear here when expressed.

Grouped by milestone, not spaced or ordered by inferred dates. AGI and superhuman AI retain his definitions.

What his outlook hinges on

A central assumption

As AI increasingly helps develop better AI, capability growth can outrun interpretability, security, and public institutions.

Answer 1

If this assumption turned out differently, how would his outlook change?

What could change their mind

Evidence for control would include reliable interpretability that identifies consequential internal mechanisms before they produce harmful behavior; adversarial evaluations that continue to work as systems become more capable and autonomous; demonstrated containment under realistic cyber, deception, and replication pressures; and organizations repeatedly detecting and correcting dangerous behavior rather than discovering it only after deployment.

Answer 3

What evidence would be enough, and in which direction would it move his view?

More details

Expected upside

Substantial benefits are expected, with important conditions or distribution limits.

Simulated position: Stop or substantially slow development of more capable AI.

Continue development under stated safeguards.

Speed up development of more capable AI.

These interpretations keep his stated conditions. Benefits and harms can both be substantial. The ranges describe how we read his simulated answers, not statistical confidence intervals.
