Event Summary

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei posted on X that the AI industry can rebuild public trust by delivering tangible scientific breakthroughs, such as curing cancer, rather than through marketing. He acknowledged that AI companies, including Anthropic, have not yet delivered on their promises. Amodei argued that public distrust stems from a broader crisis of trust in corporations, not primarily from AI leaders' warnings. He expressed support for a FINRA-like regulatory body and the United States — Presidency of Donald Trump's approach to AI testing. Critics, including Yann LeCun of Meta, argued that openness and transparency are also needed. Amodei mentioned Anthropic is increasing work in biology and medicine, hoping for early results in coming months.
