NoteThe record claims Dario Amodei held the role of 'VP of Research' at OpenAI with startDate 2016 and endDate 2021-01. The source confirms he joined OpenAI in 2016 and held the title 'vice president of research' (confirmed). The source confirms he left in 2021 to found Anthropic (confirmed). However, the source does not specify the exact month of departure—it only says 'In 2021' without specifying January (2021-01). The endDate of 2021-01 is therefore unverifiable from the source, though consistent with a 2021 departure. All other fields (person, org, role, startDate year) are confirmed.
