Comment by Dario Amodei

After drawing a hard line against AI abuses in democracies, we should use that precedent to create an international taboo against the worst abuses of powerful AI. [...] I recognize that the current political winds have turned against international cooperation and international norms, but this is a case where we sorely need them. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search (darioamodei.com returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch). Search confirms (including Zvi Mowshowitz's detailed summary and multiple other sources) that Dario Amodei's essay "The Adolescence of Technology" (January 2026, on his own site = primary source) contains the passage "After drawing a hard line against AI abuses in democracies, we should use that precedent to create an international taboo against the worst abuses of powerful AI," along with his acknowledgment that current political winds have turned against international cooperation/norms but that this is a case where they are sorely needed. Author attribution (Anthropic CEO) and year (2026) are correct, and source_url is the primary source. The "for" vote on "Nations should negotiate a binding international treaty on AI safety, similar to nuclear non-proliferation" aligns with his call for international taboos/norms against the worst abuses of powerful AI. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 5d ago
