The Hidden Tension: AI Safety as a Strategic Differentiator vs. Growth Constraint
AI Safety (5 mentions) trends alongside OpenAI but not Anthropic, despite Anthropic's founding narrative. This suggests safety is becoming a contested topic—OpenAI may be framing it as a solved problem or growth enabler, while Anthropic's silence indicates either strategic pivot or internal debate.
