Now he admits we\u2019re not there yet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think that today we can make progress at a rate of ten years per year for a number of reasons,\u201d Amodei said. Those included: Models aren\u2019t as good as they someday will be; researchers need time to figure out how to use these tools; and the infrastructure and regulatory systems will take time to change.<\/p>\n<p>Amodei and I were speaking at an Anthropic event where the company, a public-benefit corporation meant to be focused on improving the world, unveiled a product for biologists and pharmaceutical companies called Claude Science. I agreed to interview Amodei on-stage as part of the event, with the stipulation that I would decide on my own what to ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"restricted-text\">STAT+ Exclusive Story<\/p>\n<p class=\"restricted-login\">Already have an account?
