Anthropic Faces Pressure Balancing Safety And Growth

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said the AI company founded in 2021 is struggling to balance its safety-first mission with intense commercial pressures as it scales. Last week the company announced $30 billion in Series G funding at a $380 billion post-money valuation and reported a $14 billion run-rate revenue growing more than 10x annually, while some staff, including former safety researcher Mrinank Sharma, have resigned citing values conflicts.
