Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said he would be willing to transfer the company’s artificial-intelligence technology to a suitable government coalition, while expressing surprise that private companies had advanced AI so far. The comments, made in a CBS interview, have renewed debate over whether advanced AI should remain under private-sector control or be subject to alternative governance structures. Anthropic, which develops the Claude AI models, was valued at $380 billion in its last funding round. A prediction market currently assigns a 2.9% probability to the company reaching a $600 billion valuation by December 31, reflecting limited expectations for substantial near-term growth. Observers are watching for clarification from Anthropic, as well as possible responses from major stakeholders Amazon and Google, and for changes in valuation forecasts or strategic partnerships.
