Anthropic quietly sets up biology lab as it ramps AI drug program: Report
- On Friday, September 18, 2026, Anthropic reported that its Claude model now leads 26% of internal research and development, collaborating with human staff on about 90% of tasks.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently called for slowing AI development to address safety concerns, arguing for "better visibility into the pace of AI development" to help the public decide how to use the technology.
- "Models accelerating their own development could make it more challenging for humans to understand or control these systems," Anthropic warned, while researcher Jacob Coxon claimed industry leaders are "racing straight toward self-improving superintelligence."
- Tech leaders including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk have backed calls for regulatory restraint with third-party "embedded evaluators" from METR, though legislative efforts to mandate emergency shutoffs have stalled.
- President Donald Trump dismissed calls for guardrails, arguing that AI development requires only a "STRONG AND SMART PRESIDENT" and claiming efforts to curb domestic AI advancement constitute "a SICK conspiracy" benefiting China.
