People behind Anthropic

Founders, operators, and researchers tracked in the TECHi AI Power List. Each card opens the full influence profile.

Jared Kaplan

Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Anthropic

Before Anthropic existed, Jared Kaplan wrote the scaling-laws paper showing model performance improves as a predictable function of compute, data, and parameters — the curve every frontier lab now budgets against. A Harvard-trained theoretical physicist who spent years on quantum gravity, he co-founded Anthropic and serves as its Chief Science Officer, where he helped create Constitutional AI.

Dario Amodei

CEO, Anthropic

Founder

Dario Amodei co-founded Anthropic after leading research at OpenAI, and has built it into a $47 billion revenue run-rate business on the Claude models and Claude Code. He is also the frontier-lab CEO who lost the entire U.S. federal government as a customer on principle, refusing the Pentagon unrestricted military use of Claude.
