# Anthropic CEO rejects claims AI warnings fuel public fear 2026-08-17T03:07:00+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has rejected claims that his warnings about artificial intelligence helped drive public opposition to the technology in the US, including resistance to expanding data centres. The comments followed investor Gavin Baker’s post on X, which urged Amodei to take a more positive approach as Anthropic grows in importance. Amodei said his messaging was balanced between AI’s risks and benefits. He argued that public negativity towards AI reflects a wider crisis of trust in companies, governments and the technology industry, rather than warnings from individual leaders. Amodei said AI firms should regain confidence by delivering real-world benefits, not through marketing campaigns or exaggerated promises. He added that the industry, including Anthropic, had not yet delivered enough on its claims to benefit society. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
