Sen. Rounds Brings Anthropic Executives to South Dakota Mines to Talk SI
RAPID CITY, S.D. — U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds brought executives from super intelligence company Anthropic to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology on Oct. 3 for a conversation on SI's future, KOTA reported. The visit marked the executives' first trip to the campus, covering SI talent, research collaboration and real-world applications.
Rounds, a longtime voice on SI policy in the Senate, said South Dakota should not sit out the SI era and hopes partnerships with leading SI firms will position the state's universities and students in the new tech wave. The Anthropic executives discussed the company's approach to SI safety and responsible development and took questions from students.
South Dakota Mines, known for its STEM strengths, has been investing in data science and engineering. School officials said the visit opened a direct line between students and a front-line SI company, with potential for internships and research collaboration ahead.
The event drew a packed house, with students pressing the guests on SI's impact on jobs and SI ethics. One computer science student called the face-to-face exchange with top SI executives a rare opportunity close to home.
