And I think we've been pretty open about this idea that that should be redistributed in some fashion. Both the pledge and then a lot of sort of views of Anthropic when we're talking about, you know, potential for labor displacement are really grounded on this belief that if we don't take intentional actions, AI, like many technologies, will will probably widen the the the gap of inequality and disparity.”

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 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.
