New Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger’s Goal to Make Anthropic the Instagram of AI

Mike Krieger, co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer of Instagram, has now joined Anthropic in the role of Chief Product Officer. Anthropic, a company focused on building trustworthy AI systems, made the announcement in a blog post detailing Kreiger’s new position.

Krieger expressed his admiration for Anthropic’s dedication to creating reliable AI systems that empower humans and expand technological possibilities. He highlighted the company’s potential to positively impact the world through transformative products like Claude. CEO Dario Amodei praised Krieger’s engineering expertise and leadership as valuable assets to Anthropic’s team.

Despite Anthropic’s release of Claude on various platforms, including the web and iOS, the AI tool has not gained as much popularity as competitors such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. The company faces stiff competition from industry giants like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google, with new AI advancements expected from Apple in the near future. These developments highlight the evolving landscape of AI technology and the challenges Anthropic may encounter in expanding Claude’s reach.
