Dario Amodei, CEO of ANTHROPIC, said on Saturday the best way to counter public skepticism about AI is to deliver on the technology’s promises, acknowledging widespread distrust and calling for concrete scientific breakthroughs. He said claims that AI will cure cancer have become clichés and are seen as misleading, and conceded the fairest critique of AI firms, including ANTHROPIC, is that they have not yet delivered on their grand promises — genuinely effective progress would be curing cancer. Amodei has previously warned about AI risks; some industry figures have criticized his tone. Demis Hassabis of DeepMind earlier urged peers to retract overly certain pessimistic predictions. With OpenAI and ANTHROPIC seen as potential IPO candidates, market sentiment has moved from pessimism toward optimism, though Amodei said he does not believe his warnings are the root cause of public distrust.

Saudi outlet Alhadath reported Egyptian President received Trump envoy Jared Kushner in Al Alamein, where they discussed the need for parties to fulfil obligations under the Gaza agreement. Al Arabiya, citing sources, said Kushner will meet Hamas today to push the Gaza administrative committee to assume responsibilities; the committee’s Gaza senior representative Maladinov and delegations from Turkey, Egypt and Qatar will attend. Kushner and the Hamas delegation will discuss an international stabilization force, Israeli withdrawal and humanitarian aid; the stated goal is to implement the Trump plan, not to renegotiate it, with emphasis on ending the cycle of violence in Gaza.
