Anthropic CEO sells investors on safety, ‘no jerks’ culture
New York: Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei pitched investors on safety and a strict hiring culture on Friday, days before the AI company’s stock market debut.
“We’re very paranoid” about AI safety, Amodei told JPMorgan Chase chief Jamie Dimon at an event hosted by the bank, one of the offering’s lead underwriters.
He said that focus had shaped both Anthropic’s culture and its strategy, steering it toward business customers and coding tools rather than consumer chatbots, a path not initially chosen by the company’s archrival ChatGPT-maker OpenAI.
