Anthropic executive's wife pursued Jeffrey Epstein funding for adult-tech venture

Cami Clark, spouse of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, tried to secure investment from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for a porn startup she founded.

Cami Clark, the discreet wife of Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei, serves as a strategic confidante and is frequently seen beside him at gatherings like the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley. Insiders say she was instrumental in bringing early investor Eric Schmidt into Anthropic during its 2021 launch. Separate reporting reveals that Clark founded a porn venture she labeled "revolutionary" and approached Jeffrey Epstein for capital, despite his prior conviction and imprisonment for sex crimes.

One outlet highlighted efforts to scrub her digital footprint, resulting in limited public information even within Anthropic’s own AI system, Claude. The revelations raise questions about the influence of personal networks on the fast-growing AI firm, which is nearing a potential multitrillion-dollar IPO. Commentary from one outlet News links the episode to broader concerns about information control in AI platforms.

Why it matters
