"The institute's role is to 'tell the world' what it learns about the challenges that arise as AI firms develop more advanced AI systems. Examples include how powerful AI technologies will reshape jobs and economies and what kinds of threats they'll magnify or introduce."
"The institute will bring together and expand Anthropic's current research teams: The Frontier Red Team that stress-tests AI systems, the Societal Impacts team that looks at how AI is used in the real world, and the Economic Research team that tracks AI's impact on jobs and the larger economy."
"Anthropic is tripling its Public Policy team at a time when AI companies are establishing a presence in Washington, so that they can influence future policies around artificial intelligence."
Anthropic has created the Anthropic Institute, a research initiative led by co-founder Jack Clark, to study challenges arising from advanced AI development. The institute consolidates three existing research teams: the Frontier Red Team, Societal Impacts team, and Economic Research team. Simultaneously, Anthropic is expanding its public policy presence by opening a Washington DC office and tripling its policy team, with Sarah Heck becoming Head of Policy. The institute aims to communicate findings about AI's effects on employment, economies, and emerging threats. Anthropic hired Matt Botvinick from Google DeepMind and Zoë Hitzig from OpenAI as founding institute members. These moves occur amid regulatory scrutiny, including a lawsuit challenging a Defense Department supply chain risk designation.
