"The AI Leadership Edition: Building Organizations & Shaping the Future"

1. Inside the Mind of AI: Anthropic Co-Founder Jack Clark's Vision with Rick Rubin”

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark sits down with Rick Rubin to share the untold story behind one of AI's most important companies. This isn't your typical tech founder interview - it's a deep exploration of what it really means to build AI that serves humanity rather than just maximizing performance.

Clark opens up about his journey from policy work to OpenAI, and ultimately to co-founding Anthropic with a radically different approach to AI development. He breaks down the real challenges of creating AI systems that are not just powerful, but reliable, interpretable, and aligned with human values. This conversation goes beyond the usual AI hype to explore the hard questions: How do you actually build trust in AI systems? What does responsible AI development look like in practice?

From the early days of AI research to navigating today's rapidly evolving landscape, Clark shares insights that only come from being at the center of the AI revolution. He discusses the cultural and technical decisions that separate companies building AI for the right reasons from those just chasing the next breakthrough.
