Anthropic: an AI safety-focused lab is born
In one sentence Dario and Daniela Amodei, former VP of Research and VP of Safety at OpenAI, co-found Anthropic with a group of researchers, explicitly focused on AI safety and interpretability.
A group of researchers — led by Dario Amodei (former VP of Research at OpenAI) and his sister Daniela (former VP of Safety) — leave OpenAI and start a new company: Anthropic.
They bring big names: Chris Olah (interpretability), Tom Brown (first author of GPT-3), Sam McCandlish, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan (scaling laws).
The founding message is clear: they want to build AI focused on safety and interpretability, not just scale. The birth of the lab that, two years later, will launch Claude and become the main competitor to OpenAI on frontier models. It will shape the entire public conversation on how to build AI responsibly.
