Since the beginning, Anthropic has thought in terms of safety and reliability of AI systems.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodi from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The future of his business, as demand for AI keeps expanding.

I actually don't think some of these other models have enough incentive to get smarter,

have enough incentive to become capable of more tasks across the board, and we've been able

to focus on that more.
