His comments come as the debate around AI safety, ChatGPT, Claude and responsible AI development grows. Last week, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for frontier AI labs to slow the pace of development so safety measures can keep up.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Marc Benioff warns AI companies not to repeat social media mistakes<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Marc Benioff said AI companies need to avoid problems that social media platforms face. \u201cA lot of companies got hurt, a lot of individuals got hurt through social media,\u201d Benioff told Jim Cramer in a Mad Money interview during Salesforce&#8217;s Dreamforce event in San Francisco. \u201cWe don\u2019t want that to happen in AI.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Benioff&#8217;s comments come as Salesforce continues to work with companies developing generative AI. Last month, Salesforce announced Claudeforce, which includes a plugin that allows customers to use Anthropic&#8217;s Claude with data stored in Salesforce. The tool can also perform tasks such as writing emails and updating records.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Anthropic CEO attends Dreamforce keynote<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also appeared on stage during Benioff&#8217;s Dreamforce keynote on Tuesday. \u201cI think that\u2019s the way to lead the industry forward, to set an example, to say that everyone can always be better,\u201d Amodei said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Notably, Benioff did not call for AI development to be slowed or directly criticised individual AI companies. Instead, he said companies developing the technology have a responsibility to consider its wider effects. <!-- -->\u201cWe want AI to take care of these things and be held responsible, and take care of these actions and be ethical,\u201d Benioff said. \u201cThe heart of ethics is responsibility.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>He added:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>\u201cWe really look at a light on our brethren here in San Francisco and all over the world and say, \u2018We want you to be ethical in your actions and how you take care of your communities and the world,\u2019 because this technology is very powerful.\u201d<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/tech-news\/in-2018-salesforce-ceo-marc-benioff-said-that-facebook-is-the-new-cigarettes-8-years-later-he-has-similar-warning-on-chatgpt-and-claude-says-\/articleshow\/134287689.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Eight years after Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff called Facebook \u201cthe new cigarettes\u201d, he is raising a similar concern about the fast-growing AI industry, including companies behind tools such as ChatGPT and Claude.
