Dario Amodei started Anthropic with a team of former senior members of OpenAI in 2021 due to directional differences, specifically regarding OpenAI's ventures with Microsoft in 2019. He left OpenAI in 2020 due to disagreements about safety and the company's direction, and wanted to focus on safe AI research within a dedicated organization. Anthropic was founded with a collective vision emphasizing AI safety and aims not just for commercial success, but also to set a positive standard in AI. He believes in prioritizing safe AI development and sees the responsibility of leading AI companies in finding ways to democratize control over central systems as their capabilities increase. The organization is entirely dedicated to scaling AI safely while keeping humans at the center by creating steerable, interpretable, and reliable AI systems, focusing on both current and future AI safety issues.
