In her foreword to Anthropic's first Public Benefit Report, Amodei wrote
If not properly trained and carefully deployed, AI can be a danger in its own right.
and thatwith AI coming closer to building its own successors, we are clear-eyed that the investment that got us this far will not be sufficient for this next phase.
The foreword opens on benefits already arriving, from protein binders designed by Claude to Ebola response in Congo, then turns to risk:
The same intelligence that powers protein binder discoveries could be used by malicious actors to engineer biological weapons.
She repeats Anthropic's call for the industry to pace the frontier andto define common safety standards to limit the rate of unchecked progress.
