About
Dario Amodei co-founded Anthropic in 2021 and has led it as chief executive through its growth into one of the leading AI safety and foundation-model research labs.
He has consistently framed AI safety as a core engineering discipline rather than an afterthought, shaping Anthropic's Constitutional AI methodology and its Claude family of models.
Before Anthropic, Amodei was VP of Research at OpenAI, where he led large-scale language model research. He holds a PhD in computational neuroscience from Princeton.
