Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon also resigned from the company earlier this month, arguing that the leading AI company was not acting responsibly as AI capabilities advanced rapidly.
“I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research in OpenAI and Anthropic. There is no company that acts responsibly. They are racing directly for self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,” Jacob Coxon said on September 8.
Trump was asked by Hasnie about Amodei’s call to slow the development of AI.

“We’ll talk about it. I’m going to go and let’s win. We’re about a year, maybe half a year up in China. There’s no one in third place. It’s just us and China. We’ve led enough. I talked a little about it with President Xi. Not too much, it’s not a topic of conversation. I’ll talk to Dario and others,” said Trump.
Amodei was not among the tech industry leaders attending Thursday’s White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, although the group included OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Anthropic has been involved in a legal battle with the Pentagon over the technology company’s designation as a supply chain risk.
In a 2-1 decision on Friday, the appeals court sided with the Pentagon, allowing the department to continue designating Anthropic as a “supply chain risk” for Defense Department procurement purposes.
