Comment by Dario Amodei
CEO at Anthropic
We're under an incredible amount of commercial pressure and make it even harder for ourselves because we have all this safety stuff we do that I think we do more than other companies. [...] The pressure to survive economically, while also keeping our values, is just incredible.AI Verified source (2026)

Quote attributed to Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO (2026). The Fortune source_url returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but web search confirmed the article exists at that exact URL ("Anthropic was supposed to be a 'safe' alternative to OpenAI...", Fortune 2026-02-17) and corroborated the quote verbatim from his Dwarkesh Patel interview: "We're under an incredible amount of commercial pressure and make it even harder for ourselves because we have all this safety stuff we do that I think we do more than other companies," and "The pressure to survive economically, while also keeping our values, is just incredible." Year (2026) current and correct. Author attribution confirmed. Vote alignment: the quote shows Amodei prioritizing safety beyond competitors and bearing a competitive cost for it — a core rationale for mandating safety investment industry-wide so safety-focused firms aren't penalized. This is consistent with the "for" vote on "Mandate big AI companies spend 30% of compute on AI safety." Note: the quote does not state the specific 30% figure, but the stance (prioritizing safety, supporting a level playing field) aligns with "for."
