Top Anthropic executive Mike Krieger's message to college graduates and their parents nervous about AI is that they're not the only ones going through this process.
"I think what I tell folks is you're not alone," Krieger told tech journalist Alex Heath during a recent episode of Heath's "Access" podcast. "This is a shared kind of complicated thing."
Krieger, who cofounded Instagram, said he receives "a whole class of email" from people in his broader social circle who are parents of soon-to-be college graduates. One of his messages is that there will continue to be innately human areas that AI won't affect anytime soon.
"I think the things that will still remain human, and ineffable, and important are still relationships and curiosity and creativity and the ability to organize people towards an end," he said. "I don't see AI replacing that anytime soon."
Since January, Krieger has helped lead Anthropic Labs, a unit dedicated to "incubating experimental products at the frontier of Claude's capabilities," as the AI startup described it at the time. Previously, Krieger was Anthropic's chief product officer.
