Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has laid out the company’s mission to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) that is safe, transparent, and ultimately beneficial to humanity. In a Wired interview, Amodei said Claude—Anthropic’s leading AI assistant—is likely to exceed human performance in many cognitive tasks within two years.
The company is prioritising safety research, interpretability, and governance frameworks as it scales Claude into commercial and public-sector use cases. Unlike other firms racing toward general intelligence, Anthropic is placing ethical alignment and risk mitigation at the core of its product roadmap.
Tech leaders and policymakers should track Anthropic's approach closely. It offers a template for integrating AI capabilities while maintaining responsible oversight—something likely to become increasingly important as foundation models evolve.
