Comment by Dario Amodei
CEO at Anthropic
If the new country is not a security threat [...] but simply participates peacefully in the global economy, could it still create severe risks simply by being so technologically advanced and effective that it disrupts the global economy, causing mass unemployment or radically concentrating wealth?AI Verified source (2026)

Verified: on Dario Amodei’s official essay "The Adolescence of Technology" (dated January 2026), item 4 ("Economic disruption") contains the same sentence. The omitted words in your ellipsis are exactly "in any of the ways listed in #1–3 above," and the remaining text matches, so the quote is verbatim apart from the allowed omission. The essay is published under Amodei’s name on his official site, so the attribution is correct. ([darioamodei.com](https://darioamodei.com/essay/the-adolescence-of-technology?stream=top))

Verified. The quote — Amodei's "new country" thought experiment asking whether such an entity could "create severe risks simply by being so technologically advanced and effective that it disrupts the global economy, causing mass unemployment or radically concentrating wealth" — is accurately attributed to Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO) from his essay "The Adolescence of Technology" (the source_url, on his own domain). The source_url and a corroborating commentary both returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirms the essay contains exactly this "new country" framing about economic disruption, mass unemployment, and radical wealth concentration. Year (2026) is current. The vote "for" on "The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity" aligns — Amodei raises the concern of advanced AI radically concentrating economic power/wealth.
