Sebastian Mallaby, author of The Infinity Machine, reveals how 100+ AI insiders view the race to superintelligence—and why religious language permeates the field. From DeepMind's Demis Hassabis to safety culture at Anthropic, Mallaby explores the geopolitical stakes, AI's disruption of labor markets, and why collaboration with China on AI safety is possible despite Cold War tensions. Anthropic's culture-first approach to safe AI development—focused on aligning frontier models like Constitutionals through parental guidance rather than rules—has positioned them as industry leaders in both capability and responsible deployment.
