CrowdStrike CEO on Anthropic’s IPO filing: The world isn’t ending in 2030 | Invest 2026
Brian Sozzi asks CrowdStrike chief executive and co-founder George Kurtz about the risk-to-humanity language in Anthropic’s IPO filing, and Kurtz does not accept it. He says the world is not going to end in 2030, that safety and security are the most important topics in AI and are not a laughing matter, and that if a company is not comfortable with a model it should fix it before releasing it rather than disclaim it. He also argues the top of the threat pyramid has collapsed, so a lone hacktivist can now reach for what used to be a nation-state capability. Assessments here are his own.
