Dario Amodei admits AI suffers from a crisis of trust, saying people worry companies or governments are 'cooking up some new way to screw them over'

Dario Amodei posted on X that AI's tendency to concentrate power stems from scaling laws, not regulation. The Anthropic CEO argued proper rules can address risks while constraining frontier companies and allowing open-weight models. He attributed public negativity toward AI to a "crisis of trust" rather than his own rhetoric, noting social media distorts his statements. Amodei said Anthropic must deliver tangible benefits, particularly in biology and medicine, to build credibility.
