Comment by Dario Amodei

I don’t know exactly when it’ll come, I don’t know if it’ll be 2027. I think it’s plausible it could be longer than that. I don’t think it will be a whole bunch longer than that when AI systems are better than humans at almost everything. Better than almost all humans at almost everything. And then eventually better than all humans at everything, even robotics. [...] We’ve recognized that we’ve reached the point as a technological civilization where the idea, there’s huge abundance and huge economic value, but the idea that the way to distribute that value is for humans to produce economic labor, and this is where they feel their sense of self worth. Once that idea gets invalidated, we’re all going to have to sit down and figure it out. AI Unverifiable source (2025)

Verification History

AI Unverifiable The source URL (arstechnica.com) could not be fetched by Claude Code. However, the quote is independently confirmed verbatim via web search results: Dario Amodei made these statements at the World Economic Forum in Davos (January 2025), saying "I don't know exactly when it'll come, I don't know if it'll be 2027... AI systems are better than humans at almost everything" and "we've reached the point as a technological civilization where there's huge abundance and huge economic value." Vote alignment is correct (for "AGI will create abundance" - Amodei explicitly invokes "huge abundance"). Marking ai_unverifiable since the source URL is inaccessible to AI fetching. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 8d ago
