President Anthropic
Co-founder and President of Anthropic. Previously VP of Operations at OpenAI (2018-2021). Left OpenAI alongside her brother Dario Amodei over AI safety concerns.
Daniela Amodei co-founded Anthropic in 2021 after leaving OpenAI, serving as President. She has been instrumental in developing Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP), which sets safety evaluation thresholds that must be met before deploying more capable AI systems. The RSP has been cited as a model for AI governance.
Daniela Amodei departed OpenAI in December 2020 along with her brother Dario and five other researchers to found Anthropic in January 2021. The departure was driven by philosophical differences about prioritizing safety over rapid commercialization. Anthropic was structured as a Delaware public benefit corporation with a Long-Term Benefit Trust governance structure designed to prioritize safety.
