Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei issued a statement Tuesday to “set the record straight” about the company’s alignment with the Trump administration’s AI policies, following “a recent increase in inaccurate claims regarding Anthropic’s policy stance.” “Anthropology is built on a simple principle: AI should be a force for human progress, not a threat,” Amodei wrote. “That means building products that really work, being honest about the risks and benefits, and working with people who are serious about getting this right.” Amodei’s reaction follows a backlash against Anthropic last week from AI leaders and top members of the Trump administration, including AI…

Some startups pride themselves on having high-profile backers, but just as important is having high-profile customers.
