Mrinank Sharma

The public resignation letter of Anthropic's Safeguards Research lead, shared on his final day at the company. Sharma writes that 'the world is in peril' — not only from AI but from 'a whole series of interconnected crises' — and that 'we appear to be approaching a threshold where our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world.' Reflecting on his time at Anthropic, he says he has 'repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions' under constant pressure 'to set aside what matters most.'
