The company said it regularly hires experts in sensitive fields to stress-test its models before a release.<\/p>\n<p>Spelling out the exact harm, it added, is how you recruit the right people. Anthropic says hundreds of staff now work on safety, probing for weak spots and patching them.<\/p>\n<p>This is the company that critics call the industry\u2019s biggest doomsayer. The pattern in Anthropic safety hiring is its answer to that label. It is spending real money on the risks it keeps describing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_catastrophe_Amodei_keeps_describing\"><\/span>The catastrophe Amodei keeps describing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Chief executive Dario Amodei has spent months sketching the downside. In a January essay he called biological attacks the scenario that worries him most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not think biological attacks will necessarily be carried out the instant it becomes widely possible,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut added up across millions of people and a few years of time, I think there is a serious risk of a major attack, with casualties potentially in the millions or more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has also warned about AI helping cybercriminals and empowering authoritarian states. Earlier this year Anthropic broke with the US Defense Department over the use of its <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_labs_are_writing_their_own_rules\"><\/span>The labs are writing their own rules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>OpenAI is doing the same. It is hiring a researcher on biological and chemical risks, at a base salary of up to $445,000. As models grow more capable, every serious lab is racing to staff a red team.<\/p>\n<p>That race is happening in a vacuum. The US still has no comprehensive AI safety law. Congress has tried for years and passed nothing. Some want a referee: Google\u2019s Demis Hassabis has floated a Wall Street-style watchdog for frontier models. Fewer than one in a hundred AI PhDs go into government, so the expertise sits inside the companies.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a strange kind of self-regulation. The firms building the most dangerous capability are also the ones deciding how to fence it in. Amodei has named that tension himself, calling AI companies the next tier of risk after hostile states. His careers page is the argument and the warning in one place. The people best placed to stop the catastrophe work for the company that could help cause it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
