Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) is urging Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei against an "alarmist approach" and "panic-inducing commentary" on AI, according to a letter sent Monday and obtained by Axios. Why it matters: It's the latest example of President Trump's allies targeting Amodei. Moreno's letter comes ahead of Anthropic's expected historic IPO, with valuation estimates as high as nearly $2 trillion. "I do not understand how you can ask them to invest their hard-earned savings in Anthropic's continued development while warning those same Americans that your product could ultimately lead to their extinction," Moreno wrote, referencing the expected IPO.
