“Overall, I think 5-10 years is a reasonable timeline for a good fraction (maybe 50%) of AI-driven health benefits to propagate to even the poorest countries in the world.”

  3. Resolved false Prediction 11 November 2024
    “But I would guess that in another 10 months, we’ll probably get pretty close. We’ll be at least 90%.”

    Amodei guessed that within about 10 months AI models would probably get pretty close on typical real-world programming tasks, reaching at least 90%.

  4. Mostly false Prediction 11 November 2024
    “in 10 months we’ve gone from 3% to 50% on this task. And I think in another year we’ll probably be at 90%.”

    Amodei said that, after progress from 3% to 50% on SWE-bench in 10 months, state-of-the-art models would probably be at about 90% in another year, while adding that he did not know and it might be less.

  5. Mostly true Prediction 11 November 2024
    “I would guess a year from now, the models can do this very, very reliably.”

    Amodei guessed that by about November 2025, AI models would be able to perform computer-use tasks very, very reliably.
