Dario Amodei's New Essay 'Policy on the AI Exponential' Names Anthropic's Real Priorities: Pre-Deployment Testing, Labor Disruption, and a 'Super Growth, Super Inequality' Warning
In a long primary-source essay on darioamodei.com, the Anthropic CEO argues the core problem is a timing mismatch — capability moves on an exponential while policy moves at traditional speed — and lays out the five issues Anthropic now cares about most: pre-deployment testing, labor disruption, scientific regulation, civil liberties, and a democratic-country alliance. He warns enduring job displacement is 'undesirable and dangerous' and explicitly frames a possible 'super growth, super inequality' world. For builders, this is the clearest written map yet of where Anthropic will push regulation — distinct from his recent operational comments, and not previously surfaced in this newsletter.
