Dario Amodei, president of Anthropic, a company focused on developing artificial intelligence, has raised concerns about the future of AI. He believes it is important to be "honest with the general public" about both the capabilities and the risks of AI systems. According to The Wall Street Journal, Amodei has faced questions from his peers about his warnings regarding the potential dangers of AI. During a meeting with White House advisors, it seems that Anthropic "forced" its competitors, such as OpenAI, to acknowledge the risks AI poses to human survival and the need for rules to manage it. This view contrasts with that of Donald Trump, who does not want to hear about such risks.
Amodei made these comments during an AI summit, where he suggested that the intense race for AI development favored by the American administration "could be won" by prioritizing security and promoting collaboration across the entire industry. This statement was well received by Trump, despite their complicated relationship. The two met on Monday evening, a development that was not expected at the start of 2026, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
In the first half of 2026, the American administration and Anthropic had a tense relationship, especially concerning the control of one of Anthropic's most powerful AI systems, Mythos. Initially reserved for the United States, this decision caused global controversy. Additionally, Anthropic was placed on a blacklist by the Pentagon after refusing to allow its AI models to be used for military purposes.
Amodei is part of a group of intellectuals in California who are concerned about the impact of AI on humanity. This group includes Yann LeCun, founder of AMI Labs and a former employee of Meta. Amodei left OpenAI in December 2020 to gain more freedom of speech. His approach to AI is not universally accepted, as seen in the views of Mark Zuckerberg, who has shifted his stance since Donald Trump's return to the White House. Zuckerberg believes that the best way to secure AI is to follow the principles outlined in a charter signed at the White House. He has shown a closer relationship with Trump, even laughing heartily alongside him in public appearances.
