Anthropic’s Amodei Rejects Open Model Ban But Calls for Testing Silicon Valley leaders, including Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei and Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang, are warning against a broad government crackdown on open-weight artificial intelligence systems as a response to a breakthrough Chinese AI model that’s challenged US leadership in the technology.
