Anthropic Director General Dario Amodei is concerned that the spies, likely from China, are taking their hands on the “algorithmic secrets” costly by the highest US companies – and he wants the US government to enter.
Speaking at an event by the Council for External Relations on Monday, Amodei said China is known for “large -scale industrial spy” and that he as anthropic’s companies are almost certainly targeted.
“Many of these algorithmic secrets, there are $ 100 million secrets that are some code lines,” he said. “And, you know, I’m sure there are people who try to steal them, and they can succeed.”
More help from the US government to defend against this risk is “very important,” Amodei added, without specifying exactly what kind of assistance would be required.
Anthropic refused to comment on Techcrunch on remarks specifically, but referred to anthropic recommendations at the White House policy and technology policy office (TSO) earlier this month.
In submission, anthropic argues that the Federal Government should partner with the leaders of his industry to increase security on the front of Ai Labs, including working with US intelligence agencies and their allies.
The remarks are in line with the most critical attitude of the amodei towards Chinese development. Amodei has called for strong export checks in the US on chips he in China while saying that Deepseek scored “the worst” in a critical bioapons data security test that ran anthropic.
Amodei concerns, as he set out in his essay “Grace Loving Cars” and elsewhere, in downtown China using him for authoritarian and military purposes.
This kind of attitude has led to criticism from some in the community of the one who argue that the US and China should cooperate more, not less, in order to avoid a race of weapons that results in the construction of a powerful system that people cannot control it.
