As Anthropic tries to take on the AI giants, it has a new big-name executive on board: the company announced this morning that Mike Krieger is its new chief product officer. Krieger, of course, was one of the co-founders of Instagram and spent the last few years working on Artifact, an AI news-reading app that was recently acquired by Yahoo. Krieger will oversee all of Anthropic’s product efforts going forward.
The underlying tech is changing fast, and the products through which people use them are evolving even faster. “Mike’s background in developing intuitive products and user experiences will be invaluable as we create new ways for people to interact with Claude, particularly in the workplace,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a statement announcing the hire. “We feel fortunate to add Mike’s vision and expertise to our leadership team.
