Daniela Amodei on national security
From Anthropic President Amodei on the Future of Claude · · Bloomberg Technology
“Anthropic has been really leaned in from day one and talked very publicly about our commitment to national security. And we were the first company available, um, on the top secret cloud. I think our commitment to, you know, these values and these principles are also very, very old, right? It's sort of not not a new, not a new thing for us. But I have to say, I've been very impressed the degree to which we've been able to work productively, you know, with the administration around a wide variety of topics. And I think that's actually been the been the much bigger story over a long period of time is our ability to to partner productively with government at all kinds of, of levels. Because fundamentally, I think artificial intelligence is and will be a geopolitical issue.”

About Daniela Amodei
Daniela Amodei, president and co-founder of Anthropic, has been active in public appearances discussing the company’s growth, product strategy, and the societal implications of artificial intelligence. In interviews and conference keynotes, she described her role as managing the day-to-day operations of the organization, including the executive team and decisions about customers and products, while her brother Dario serves as the technical visionary. She stated that Anthropic’s consumer product is focused on productive activities for professionals and individuals, rather than entertainment. Amodei also addressed the company’s approach to compute infrastructure, saying Anthropic aims to plan for the best outcome without overextending itself by committing to more compute than it could productively use. Amodei spoke about the potential for AI to both expand opportunity and deepen inequality, and said she is most worried about the choices people will make about how to use the technology. She noted that Anthropic has publicly stated its belief that AI will create a large amount of wealth that should be redistributed. At a Tipping Point Community Benefit, she reflected on growing up in San Francisco and said the company partnered with the organization to bring AI tools and training to nonprofits. Amodei also described the company’s growth from about 15 people five years ago to approximately 3,500, attributing the scaling to a foundational emphasis on values and culture.
