NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Saturday met Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, a company dealing in safe AI systems. The company also plans to open an office in Bengaluru next year. “Glad to meet you. India’s vibrant tech ecosystem and talented youth are driving AI innovation that is human-centric and responsible,” PM Modi said in a post on X in a response to Amodei. “We welcome Anthropic’s expansion and look forward to working together to harness AI for growth across key sectors,” the prime minister said.

Earlier, Amodei said he met PM Modi to discuss Anthropic’s expansion to India, where the use of its product ‘Claude Code’ has witnessed a five-fold increase since June. Anthropic was set up by former OpenAI executives and focuses on building what it describes as “safe” AI systems and counts Google among its backers.
