About this episode

Inside the Mind of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei | AI, Power and the Exponential

What does it feel like to lead an AI company while the technology itself appears to be accelerating exponentially?

In this wide-ranging conversation, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discusses the rise of Claude, his departure from OpenAI, Anthropic’s battle to preserve its values while becoming one of the world’s leading AI companies, and the extraordinary economic and political consequences of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence.

From coding and scientific discovery to job disruption, cybersecurity and AI-assisted warfare, Amodei confronts some of the hardest questions surrounding the technology his company is helping to build. Can AI deliver a century of scientific progress while avoiding mass unemployment? Should private companies control systems powerful enough to influence national security? And what limits should exist when AI moves from the workplace to the battlefield?

At the center of it all is Amodei’s idea of the “smooth exponential” — a technological acceleration that he believes should neither be ignored nor met with panic, but managed with increasingly strong safeguards as AI becomes more capable.
