Explore Anthropic's mission in the race for AI safety. Learn why they believe artificial intelligence will rival the industrial revolution within the next decade.

We’re building engines of incredible power without really knowing how to build the steering wheel. Nobody, not even the experts, knows how to train a super-powerful AI to be robustly helpful, honest, and harmless.
Anthropic's core views on AI safety, including Constitutional AI, scaling laws, and safety techniques.

Anthropic believes that we are currently witnessing the most important development in human history, with an impact comparable to the industrial or scientific revolutions. Unlike many who view these changes as distant possibilities, Anthropic operates on a wild timeline, suggesting these massive shifts will occur within the next ten years. This sense of urgency drives their research, as they believe the coming decade will define the future of artificial intelligence and its integration into society.
The company was founded by a group that recognizes a massive wave of technological progress but lacks confidence that it will naturally go well. Their core philosophy is "show, don’t tell," leading them to focus on intensive research rather than public speculation. They have spent years working quietly to address concerns regarding AI safety and alignment, speaking up now only because the pace of progress is beginning to outrun our collective ability to discuss it effectively.
Anthropic has observed that the computation used to train modern AI models is growing at a staggering rate of 10x per year. When comparing this to historical technological trends, this doubling time is seven times faster than Moore’s Law. This rapid acceleration in artificial intelligence research and computation growth is a primary reason why the organization is focused on the race for AI safety, as the technology is evolving much quicker than previous industrial shifts.
