Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei believes “powerful AI ” will arrive as soon as 2026 .

He says it will be able to control any software or hardware imaginable, including industrial machinery, and essentially do most jobs humans do today — but better.

The CEO says he's not an AI doomer’, but he’s optimistic.

Amodei: AI can bring the per-capita GDP of sub-Saharan Africa to China in 5-10 years .

He says it could transform the economies in most developing countries.

But he says it would leave humans in a lurch if AI takes over every conceivable job and does it better.
