Two years ago, we published a list of 5 predictions about AI in the year 2030. The article sparked a lot of fascinating (and sometimes heated!) discussion.
Today, we’re running it back with five more predictions.
The further into the future we attempt to peer, the hazier things look and the more speculative our thinking must become. If one thing is certain in technology, it is that no one can actually predict the future—and that we are all going to be surprised by how things play out.
But putting a stake in the ground about how things will unfold is nonetheless an informative and fun thought experiment.
Below are five bold predictions about what the world of artificial intelligence will look like in the year 2030. Whether you agree or disagree with these predictions, we hope they get you thinking.
1. Anthropic will be one of the largest and most important life sciences companies in the world.
One of Anthropic’s great strengths compared to its archrival OpenAI is its maniacal focus.
From its earliest days, Anthropic identified coding as the most important domain in AI to focus on. While OpenAI pursued a sprawling set of ambitions, from video AI to consumer hardware to chips to robotics and beyond, Anthropic’s laser focus on coding enabled it to build the most powerful coding models in the world, setting the stage for the breakout success of Claude Code. Anthropic’s jaw-dropping recent growth—from $9 billion in annualized revenue at the end of 2025 to $47 billion in annualized revenue as of last month—has been driven primarily by demand for AI coding.
But Anthropic’s ambitions as a company are bigger than coding. What will be the next domain that Anthropic commits itself to and goes all in on?
In recent months, it has become clear that the answer is biology.
Anthropic CEO/cofounder Dario Amodei, who trained as a…
