Anthropic Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan joined TechCrunch Senior Reporter Maxwell Zeff at our TechCrunch Sessions: AI event to talk about the hottest topic within the AI community right now: agents. In Kaplan’s view, chatbots are just the start, and agents will be the next frontier in expanding what AI can be capable of accomplishing.
Kaplan also addressed a couple recent flashpoints with Anthropic, including the company rescinding some model access to the startup Windsurf, reportedly set to be acquired by OpenAI, as well as the company’s stance against some of the Trump admin’s recent AI policies.
