Dario Amodei Essay 'The Adolescence of Technology': Training Claude to Almost Never Violate Its Constitution Is a Feasible 2026 Goal
Dario Amodei published 'The Adolescence of Technology' arguing that a feasible goal for 2026 is training Claude so it almost never goes against the spirit of its constitution. He noted Anthropic has implemented classifiers since mid-2025 to detect and block bioweapon-related outputs, though these add measurably to inference costs. Amodei also stated bluntly that 'we are considerably closer to real danger in 2026 than we were in 2023,' while maintaining his expectation of achieving powerful AI capabilities — 'a country of genius in the data center' — in 2026, maybe 2027.
