US artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic has today announced plans to create over 100 new roles across its Dublin and London offices to support its growing European customer base including Irish clients like Intercom.
Anthropic is an AI safety and research company based in San Francisco. Its flagship product is Claude, an AI model similar to ChatGPT.
The company also said today it had appointed former Stripe executive Guillaume Princen as Head of its EMEA operations.
Mr Princen previously led Stripe's expansion in Europe and most recently served as CEO of Mooncard, the European expense management platform.
As well as Intercom in Ireland, Anthropic's clients around Europe include WPP in the UK, SNCF in France, BMW in Germany and Novo Nordisk in Denmark.
"Our expansion across Europe and the UK comes at a critical moment when businesses need advanced AI capabilities that also prioritise security and privacy," said Guillaume Princen.
"To meet this remarkable demand, we're creating over 100 new roles this year dedicated to supporting our growing European customer base and ensuring our approach to responsible AI development continues to align with the region's high expectations," he added.
Daniela Amodei, President and co-founder of Anthropic, said that EMEA has been central to the company's vision from the beginning.
She said that since launching Claude in Europe last year, the company has seen rapid organic growth amongst businesses and consumers alike, confirming the region's strategic importance to Anthropic's future.
"Our focus remains on serving the thriving startup ecosystem while continuing to deliver Claude's capabilities to major enterprises across the region - providing the advanced performance, security, and reliability that leading organisations need to transform how they work with AI," she added.
