may 28, 2021 - Anthropic Founded
Description:
Former OpenAI VP of Research Dario Amodei publicly announces Anthropic, a new AI safety and research company co-founded with his sister Daniela and six other former OpenAI colleagues. The company raises $124 million in seed funding from Jaan Tallinn, Dustin Moskovitz, Eric Schmidt, and others. Incorporated as a public benefit corporation, its stated goal is to build AI systems that are steerable, interpretable, and robust — qualities the founders felt were being deprioritized at OpenAI as it pursued commercial scale. The team begins working remotely during the COVID pandemic, with early meetings held over Zoom and in San Francisco parks.Added to timeline:
