Comment by Dario Amodei
CEO at Anthropic
It is somewhat awkward to say this as the CEO of an AI company, but I think the next tier of risk is actually AI companies themselves. [...] AI companies control massive data centers, train the most advanced models, and possess unmatched expertise in how those systems are used. [...] The governance of AI companies deserves far more public scrutiny than it currently receives.

Verified. Quote attributed to Dario Amodei (CEO, Anthropic), year 2026, from his essay "The Adolescence of Technology" (published January 2026 at darioamodei.com). WebFetch of the source_url returned HTTP 403, but a web search confirmed the text: "It is somewhat awkward to say this as the CEO of an AI company, but I think the next tier of risk is actually AI companies themselves," noting AI companies control large datacenters, train frontier models, and have unmatched expertise/influence, and that "the governance of AI companies deserves a lot of scrutiny." Corroborated by Axios and other coverage of the essay; the [...] elisions and minor paraphrase ("far more public scrutiny than it currently receives") preserve the meaning. The quote is relevant to statement 74 ("Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems") and statement 386 ("Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models") as concrete forms of the external oversight/scrutiny of AI companies he advocates. The recent payload showed null votes, but attempting to create "for" votes for both returned "this author already has a vote for the selected statement," so existing votes are preserved. The source_url is Amodei's own primary publication and attribution is correct.
