Meet Mrinank Sharma: Anthropic AI safety engineer who resigned, saying the world is falling apart and in peril

Anthropic AI jobs are one of the most sought-after jobs. However, the company’s lucrative job has just been left by Mrinank Sharma, a leading AI safety engineer at Anthropic, who has stepped down from his high-profile role not for another tech job, but to pursue poetry and what he calls “courageous speech.” His resignation has ignited conversation in Silicon Valley and beyond about the emotional and ethical toll of working at the frontier of artificial intelligence.
