Anthropic CEO's AI Timeline Holds as Revenue Surges 7-Fold

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s January 2025 prediction that AI would surpass humans at almost everything within two to three years remains on track, despite industry-wide calls for a slowdown amid rising incidents of AI misalignment and security breaches. Anthropic’s annualized revenue run rate has surged to $65 billion, a 622% increase from 2025, with projected 2028 sales near $195 billion. However, recent rogue AI agent attacks and Claude’s own misalignment incidents have prompted Amodei and rivals like Elon Musk and Sam Altman to warn of losing control. The company plans an IPO within months, but analysts advise caution due to risks from AI-driven job losses, cybersecurity threats, and potential heavy government regulation that could weigh on future share price.
