AnyObject can be downcast into other types of classes, so many possibilities!

//if you're confident that responseObject will definitely be of this dictionary type
let name = (responseObject as! [String : AnyObject])["name"] 

//optional dictionary type
let name = (responseObject as? [String : AnyObject])?["name"] 

//or unwrapping, name will be inferred as AnyObject
if let myDictionary = responseObject as? [String : AnyObject] {
    let name = myDictionary["name"]
}

//or unwrapping, name will be inferred as String
if let myDictionary = responseObject as? [String : String] {
    let name = myDictionary["name"]
}

Check out the reference. There's even a section on AnyObject
