What AI leaders are saying now

Mustafa Suleyman

Executive Vice President and CEO, Microsoft AI

“The motivation is: does this accelerate human progress? That’s the test, and if it doesn’t do that, then technology should be rejected.”

Mustafa Suleyman

Executive Vice President and CEO, Microsoft AI

“We’re going to train a new foundation model from scratch together.”

Jensen Huang

Founder and CEO, NVIDIA

“Intelligence is a commodity. The word we should really elevate is humanity.”

Dario Amodei

“There’s one fast exponential that’s the capability, and then there’s another fast exponential downstream of that: the diffusion of the model into the economy.”

Dario Amodei

Co-founder and CEO, Anthropic

“In 2023 it was like zero to 100 million. 2024, it was 100 million to a billion. 2025, it was a billion to like nine or 10 billion.”

Peter Steinberger

“I wanted it to be fun. I wanted it to be weird. I made the agent very aware: it knows what its source code is and understands how it sits and runs in its own harness.”

Peter Steinberger

“Play. Playing is the best way to learn. If you are a little bit of a builder and have an idea in your head, just build that.”

Mike Krieger

Head of Anthropic Labs, Anthropic

“We started seeing people using Claude Code as their project manager, Claude Code as their PM, Claude Code as a data scientist.”

“They’re really good at certain things, maybe even PhD level, but then other things they’re not even high-school level. The performance is still very uneven.”

Ilya Sutskever

Co-founder, Safe Superintelligence

“Up until 2020 it was the age of research. From 2020 to 2025 it was the age of scaling. We’re back to the age of research again.”

Ilya Sutskever

Co-founder, Safe Superintelligence

“The thing which I think is the most fundamental is that these models somehow just generalize dramatically worse than people. It’s super obvious.”

Amjad Masad

Founder and CEO, Replit

“Ultimately, English is the programming language.”

Amjad Masad

Founder and CEO, Replit

“The main innovation outside of the models is a verification loop.”

Andrew Ng

Founder, DeepLearning.AI and AI Fund

“The speed of coding is accelerating and the cost is falling. Increasingly, the bottleneck is actually product management.”

Andrew Ng

Founder, DeepLearning.AI and AI Fund

“Some of the most productive teams I’m on now are the smallest teams: really good engineers with lots of AI enablement and very low coordination costs.”

Sam Altman

Co-founder and CEO, OpenAI

“I felt useless relative to the AI. It was really hard, but the AI just did it like that.”

Sam Altman

Co-founder and CEO, OpenAI

“As capabilities go up, expectation goes way up too. We have to do way more to remain competitive.”
