Good Bad Billionaire Season 6 Episode 20

When they were children, Daniela Amodei and her brother Dario would play games where they'd imagine saving the world. Decades later, the pair founded Anthropic on the belief that artificial intelligence could be one of the most powerful forces in human history. From a $124 million seed round in 2021, Anthropic's valuation has rocketed towards $900 billion, backed by billions from Amazon and Google and partly driven by its chatbot, Claude. Along the way, the company has clashed publicly with the US government over military access to its technology. As Anthropic gears up for what could be the largest IPO in history, Daniela insists it wants to keep humans at the heart of its story. But can a business racing to build ever more powerful AI really be trusted to keep us safe?
