It would have to be the case that all of the relevant AI players, including geopolitical adversaries, would have agree to it, and it would have be verifiable.

The key challenge in such a world won’t be incentivizing growth, but finding a way for everyone to share in the benefits.

Frontier AI models, like airplanes, should be required to go through technical testing and auditing, and their release should be blocked or reversed as a threat to public safety if they do not meet high standards of safety.

Safety incidents in the four critical areas must be reported promptly.

But today, frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons. We will not knowingly provide a product that puts America’s warfighters and civilians at risk.

But using these systems for mass domestic surveillance is incompatible with democratic values. AI-driven mass surveillance presents serious, novel risks to our fundamental liberties. To the extent that such surveillance is currently legal, this is on...

Second, it makes sense to use AI to empower democracies to resist autocracies. This is the reason Anthropic considers it important to provide AI to the intelligence and defense communities in the US and its democratic allies. Defending democracies th...

[...] the idea of stopping or even substantially slowing [...] is fundamentally untenable. If one company does not build it [...] authoritarian countries would simply keep going.

From a business perspective, the difference between open and closed is a little bit overblown. From a security perspective, the difference between open and closed models is, for some intents and purposes, overblown. The most important thing is how po...

I am very concerned about deploying such systems without a better handle on interpretability. These systems will be absolutely central to the economy, technology, and national security, and will be capable of so much autonomy that I consider it basic...

It’s very frightening. [...] an AI system that doesn’t take over the world, that doesn’t destroy humanity, then [...] follow basic human laws.

This means that in 2026-2027 we could end up in one of two starkly different worlds. In the US, multiple companies will definitely have the required millions of chips (at the cost of tens of billions of dollars). The question is whether China will al...
