TechnologyTrump allies reportedly target Anthropic CEO over AI “doomerism”
Axios says a political memo casts Dario Amodei and effective altruism as obstacles to Trump's AI agenda.
TLDR
Trump allies are trying to make Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei the public face of AI “doomerism,” Axios reports. The outlet says a memo circulating within the White House links Amodei and his family to effective altruism and portrays that movement as opposed to Trump's agenda. The document was written by a Trump political adviser who does not work for the White House. Amodei and other Anthropic figures have separately rejected the claim that effective altruism defines the company, while AI-safety concerns extend beyond that movement.
