The Mind of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei [Extended Interview] [video]
In this extended video interview, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discusses his views on AI safety, the future of artificial intelligence, and the philosophical considerations behind building advanced AI systems.
Background
Dario Amodei is the CEO of **Anthropic**, the AI company behind the Claude family of large language models. He previously worked at OpenAI (where he led safety efforts) and left in 2021 to co-found Anthropic with a focus on "constitutional AI" — training models to be helpful, harmless, and honest through explicit guidelines rather than pure RLHF. Anthropic is one of the three or four frontier AI labs, alongside OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and (increasingly) xAI. Amodei is known for thinking deeply about AI risk, interpretability, and the long-term trajectory of intelligence. This extended interview covers his views on how AI models work internally, where the technology is headed, and what it means for society. No major news or product announcements — it's a long-form conversation about his thinking.
