In the last of the current season of the Connected AI Podcast, we have an extra special interview with Guillaume Princen, head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) for Anthropic.
 
A close rival to OpenAI, Anthropic has sought to differentiate itself with a safety-conscious approach to rolling out AI, and a focus on winning enterprise customers. So far it's working, with news this week that the company's revenue run rate is now at $30 billion, up from just $9 billion at the end of 2025.
 
Guillaume, who was Stripe's first employee outside of the US, leading the payments firm's expansion across Europe, talks to Business Post technology and innovation editor Charlie Taylor on everything from why Anthropic is expanding in Ireland, its bust-up with the Pentagon, its approach to regulation, how safety is part of its DNA, and of course its rivalry with OpenAI.
