Anthropic vs. the Pentagon: Claude banned from military systems — 150 retired judges file in support, Claude hits #1 on both app stores

The most transformative technology humans have ever created — and we're building it during a geopolitical moment that demands we get the safety right the first time.
Dario Amodei
CEO, Anthropic
We're not building AI to replace humans. We're building AI to handle the things humans shouldn't have to spend their time on — so we can focus on what actually matters.
Sundar Pichai
CEO, Google & Alphabet
LLM is a bubble — AI absolutely is not. The models are temporary. The transformation of every industry is permanent. We are at the very beginning of something extraordinary.
Clément Delangue
CEO, Hugging Face
I believe AI agents will eventually handle most software engineering tasks. Not in a decade — within a few years. The question is how we ensure humans remain meaningfully in control.
Fidji Simo
CEO, OpenAI
The race to AI supremacy is not between companies — it's between the speed of development and the speed of our understanding of what we are building. Regulation must keep pace.
Marietje Schaake
AI Policy Advisor, Stanford HAI
