Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff joins growing chorus of tech leaders warning about AI risks
Summary
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff joined other tech leaders in warning that AI companies must act responsibly as they develop increasingly powerful models, comparing the situation to social media's harmful impact on society. Benioff argued that companies building AI have a responsibility to consider its broader consequences and be ethical, rather than endorsing calls to slow AI development entirely. His comments come as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently called for frontier AI labs (companies developing cutting-edge AI systems) to reduce their development pace to allow safety measures time to catch up.
