Anthropic, an AI safety and research company founded in early 2021 by Dario Amodei and colleagues who had left OpenAI, revealed itself alongside a $124 million Series A. Dario Amodei serves as CEO and his sister Daniela Amodei as president, with a founding team drawn largely from the researchers behind GPT-2 and GPT-3. The round was led by Jaan Tallinn, co-founder of Skype, with participation from Dustin Moskovitz, Eric Schmidt, James McClave, and the Center for Emerging Risk Research. The company said its goal was to make the fundamental research advances needed to build more capable, general, and reliable AI systems, centering its work on steerability and interpretability.
