A statement from Dario Amodei on Anthropic's commitment to American AI leadership

A statement from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Anthropic’s commitment to advancing America's leadership in building powerful and beneficial AI.

Anthropic is built on a simple principle: AI should be a force for human progress, not peril . That means making products that are genuinely useful , speaking honestly about risks and benefits, and working with anyone serious about getting this right. I strongly agree with Vice President JD Vance's recent comments on AI—particularly his point that we need to maximize applications that help people, like breakthroughs in medicine and disease prevention, while minimizing the harmful ones. This position is both wise and what the public overwhelmingly wants .

Anthropic is the fastest-growing software company in history, with revenue growing from a $1B to $7B run rate over the last nine months, and we've managed to do this while deploying AI thoughtfully and responsibly. There are products we will not build and risks we will not take, even if they would make money.

Our longstanding position is that managing the societal impacts of AI should be a matter of policy over politics. I fully believe that Anthropic, the administration, and leaders across the political spectrum want the same thing: to ensure that powerful AI technology benefits the American people and that America advances and secures its lead in AI development.

Despite our track record of communicating frequently and transparently about our positions, there has been a recent uptick in inaccurate claims about Anthropic's policy stances. Some are significant enough that they warrant setting the record straight.

Anthropic is committed to constructive engagement on matters of public policy. When we agree, we say so. When we don’t, we propose an alternative for consideration. We do this because we are a public benefit corporation with a mission to ensure that AI benefits everyone, and because we want to maintain America’s lead in AI. Again, we believe we share those goals with the Trump administration, both sides of Congress, and the public . We are going to keep being honest and straightforward, and will stand up for the policies we believe are right. The stakes of this technology are too great for us to do otherwise.
