1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,997
We're increasingly close to what I've
called a country of geniuses in a data

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,037
center. A set of AI agents that are more

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,737
capable than most humans at most things

4
00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:12,797
[music] and can coordinate at superhuman

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,037
speed. That level of capability
is something the world has never seen

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,597
before and brings a very wide range of

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,157
both opportunities and concerns for

8
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,717
humanity. On the positive side, we have

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,437
the potential to cure diseases that have

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,917
been incurable for thousands of years,

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,037
to radically improve humans health,
and to lift billions out of poverty,

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,357
including in the global south,
and create a better world for everyone. On

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,597
the side of risks, I'm concerned about

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,637
the autonomous behavior of AI models,

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,117
their potential for misuse
by individuals and governments, and their

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,517
potential for economic displacement.

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,757
First, I want to thank Prime Minister
Modi for bringing us together. The

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,317
energy and ambition in this room and

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,557
across India are incredible. I've been

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,117
spending the last few days meeting with

21
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,917
Indian builders and enterprises, and the

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,757
energy to build together here is

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,117
palpable, unlike anywhere else. Um, this

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,837
is the fourth AI summit we've held since

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,637
the tradition was initiated at Bletchley

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,837
Park back in 2023, which I still

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,957
remember. And in those 2.5 years, the

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,677
advances in the technology have been
absolutely staggering. Along with those,

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,757
the advances in the commercial
applications and the societal and

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,317
ethical questions around the technology

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,197
have only grown more urgent. My

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,397
fundamental view is that AI has been on

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,797
an exponential for the la for the last

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,397
10 years um and as part of a sort of

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,957
Moore's law for intelligence and that we

36
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,517
are now well advanced on that curve and

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,757
there are only a small number of years

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,637
for AI models surpassing the cognitive

39
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,437
capabilities of most humans for most
things. We're increasingly close to what

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,357
I've called a country of geniuses in a

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,317
data center. a set of AI agents that are

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,797
more capable than most humans at most

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,397
things and can coordinate at superhuman

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,637
speed. That level of capability
is something the world has never seen

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,197
before and brings a very wide range of

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,757
both opportunities and concerns for

47
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,317
humanity. On the positive side, we have

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,037
the potential to cure diseases that have

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,517
been incurable for thousands of years,

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,637
to radically improve humans health,
and to lift billions out of poverty,

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,957
including in the global south,
and create a better world for everyone. On

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,197
the side of risks, I'm concerned about

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,237
the autonomous behavior of AI models,

54
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,477
their potential for misuse by

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,717
individuals and governments, and their

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,357
potential for economic displacement.

57
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,157
India has an absolutely central role to

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,717
play in these questions and challenges

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,437
both on the side of the opportunities
and on the side of the risks. As a sign

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,677
of our commitment, we just this week

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,397
opened an office in Bengaluru and hired

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,527
Ireina Gos who has spent

63
00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:14,637
[applause] who has spent
three decades building

64
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,197
businesses in India as our managing

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,997
director for Anthropic India. We've also

66
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,157
announced partnerships with major Indian

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,117
enterprises this week including Infosys

68
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,277
and others on the opportunities.

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,597
One dynamic that we have observed is

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,397
that technology and practices pioneered

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,557
in India have historically set a

72
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,677
standard for the global south and have

73
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,077
helped to diffuse technology and
humanitarian benefits through the global

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,237
south. We're therefore partnering with,
we have been partnering with for several

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,797
months, nonprofits such as the Xstep

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,757
Foundation, Prome and Central Square

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,077
Foundation to use our models to advance

78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,637
digital infrastructure, education,

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,957
agricultural efficiency, and health in

80
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,437
the hopes of spreading AI's benefits

81
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,237
across the global south, starting with

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,637
India and diffusing out to the rest
of the global south. We're also partnering

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,677
with Karia and the collective
intelligence project to build

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,957
evaluations and metrics of our model

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,277
claude's performance on India's many

86
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,997
regional languages on practical and

87
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,637
locally relevant tasks we'll benchmark

88
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,357
like agriculture legal tasks and

89
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,957
educational content on the risks India

90
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,437
is the world's largest democracy and can
be a partner and leader in addressing

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,837
the global security and economic risks
of the technology we'd like to work with

92
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,237
India on testing and evaluation of

93
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,637
models for safety and security risks in

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,677
the tradition that was started
by many global and national AI security

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,197
institutes that have been stood up

96
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:54,157
around the world. Even more, we see a

97
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,717
particularly strong opportunity to work

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,277
with India on studying the economic
questions as part of the New Delhi

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,597
Frontier AI impact commitments, which

100
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,997
we're excited to join. As part of our

101
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,317
anthropic economic futures program and

102
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,957
anthropic economic index, we publish

103
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,717
statistical insights into how AI impacts

104
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,757
jobs in the economy. We're excited
to increasingly share this information,

105
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,997
exchange information with the Indian
government to share insights and inform

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,717
evidence-based policym convene meetings

107
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,957
with economists, labor leaders and

108
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,157
policy makers to adjust to to to adapt

109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,797
to the economic impacts of AI.
We believe that AI will greatly grow the

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,037
economic pie including in India and
the global south. But that because it is

111
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,037
happening so fast, it may lead to a time
of disruption and we need to work

112
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,357
together between companies and the

113
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,757
government to better manage that time of

114
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,557
disruption and bring better prosperity

115
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,757
smoothly to all. Um I and anthropic are

116
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:59,997
very grateful to be part of all these
efforts and I'm honored to be here and

117
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,757
working on these
questions with all of you.

118
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,860
