Co-founded Anthropic with her brother Dario in 2021 and serves as its president, having previously spent two years at OpenAI managing safety and policy teams through the development of GPT-2. Started her career doing communications for a member of Congress and early operations work at Stripe before moving into AI — an unusual route into the field that shows in how she talks about it, less as pure research than as an organisation that has to get difficult judgment calls right.
