Dario Amodei Predicted at Davos in January 2025 That AI Could Surpass Humans "at Almost Everything" Within Two to Three Years. With Anthropic Now Filing for a $2 Trillion IPO, Is That Timeline Still on Track?

In January 2025, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted during a Davos speech that artificial intelligence could surpass human capabilities in almost every field within two to three years. The AI startup has recently surpassed OpenAI in several key areas, including revenue and profitability. Anthropic reported $16.8 billion in revenue for the third quarter, while OpenAI is now projected to delay its IPO until 2027, opting instead to raise additional funds privately.

Anthropic is also profitable on an adjusted basis, whereas OpenAI is still in the red. Despite differing opinions on whether artificial general intelligence (AGI) has already arrived, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claimed AGI had come true through OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, which solved ten longstanding mathematical and computer science problems using Nvidia's Grace Blackwell GPUs.

While some, like Elon Musk and Sam Altman, believe AGI is still on the horizon, Amodei's prediction appears to be unfolding as anticipated, potentially paving the way for Anthropic's anticipated $2 trillion IPO.
