Jane Wickline parodies Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on SNL

--> In the United States, comedian and actress Jane Wickline played Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a parody interview in the Weekend Update segment of Saturday Night Live. The parody aired amid increased public attention to the safety of artificial intelligence systems, The National reports .

In the parody, the Amodei character ironically said that legislative restrictions could stop him himself. Host Michael Che asked how to convince the public that artificial intelligence would not pose a deadly threat. In response, Wickline’s character said that Sam Altman, himself and other key industry figures had discussed the issue and did not approve of what they were doing. This was a line within a satirical sketch, not a statement by real company executives.
