Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei breaks silence: AI will cure most diseases in 5-10 years, as IPO valuation hits $2 trillion
新智元 · wechat · 2026-08-16
Ahead of a potential record-breaking IPO (valuation up to $2 trillion), Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a rare long-form response to Silicon Valley's criticism of his company's power. He rejected the simplistic 'regulation equals regulatory capture' narrative, emphasized the need for institutional constraints, and revealed Anthropic's aggressive push into biomedical AI, predicting AI will cure most human diseases within 5-10 years. Citing his father's death from hepatitis C, he argued AI must genuinely save lives to earn public trust. Anthropic's annualized revenue surged from $1B in Jan 2025 to $47B in May 2026, with 32% enterprise API market share, surpassing OpenAI.
