Jim Cramer questions Anthropic's Dario Amodei on cybersecurity blind spots

As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on September 14, 2026.

Cramer is calling out Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for leaving cybersecurity out of the AI safety conversation, and booking CrowdStrike's George Kurtz to make the counterpoint.

I find Dario's dismissal of cybersecurity (by non-inclusion) curious. Does he even consult the cyber security experts? Remember when he said his he could do the cyber security. That's why i had George Kurtz on from Crowdstrike tonight

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has left cybersecurity out of the AI safety conversation entirely, and Jim Cramer called that out on September 14, 2026 as a dismissal by non-inclusion. The post drew 111 likes.

Cramer answered by booking CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz on his program that evening, putting the question to a practitioner when AI leaders are not consulting cybersecurity experts.

A high-profile AI leader sidelining cybersecurity raises questions about whether AI safety frameworks are being built with adequate input from the people who defend real-world systems. That gap keeps dedicated cybersecurity platforms central to the debate.

Cramer referenced a prior moment when Amodei suggested he could handle cybersecurity himself, framing the Kurtz booking as a direct rebuttal. The exchange puts CrowdStrike's expertise back at the center of a conversation AI narratives have tried to absorb.

Sold CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. $16.4M61,611 shares @ $266.53

CrowdStrike's president unloaded roughly 244,000 shares across a laddered set of sales in the mid-$260s, trimming his stake to about 1.25 million shares just days after the company beat back the shareholder suit tied to the global outage. Only 12,920 of those shares came from an option exercise, so the bulk was existing stock going out the door.

Cramer is calling the selloff in the two largest pure-play cybersecurity names mechanical profit-taking rather than a break in the growth story, a read worth testing against Barclays' warning that the group has run out of room.

Crowdstrike and Palo Alto will come back.... huge wave of profit-taking
