Alex Karp rips Dario Amodei's AI-safety narrative: 'asking for regulation to dodge liability'
pdamodaran · x · 2026-09-18
Palantir CEO Alex Karp publicly pushed back on Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's AI-safety advocacy, calling it "a weird twist": technology capable of destroying 10% of the world already carries civil and criminal liability, and asking for societal regulation amounts to escaping the first line of defense — the builders' own responsibility.
The clash highlights the widening Silicon Valley split over whether frontier-lab pushes for AI regulation are about safety or about dodging legal liability and competitive pressure.
