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.

But at the same time we should recognize that there’s a decent possibility that, despite all our efforts, AI still causes significant enduring job loss—and that this may be an intrinsic property of the technology and the way it broadly replicates hum...

If AI-driven labor displacement ends up being large in magnitude and permanently drives down the demand for labor, it will likely be necessary to go beyond mere incentive programs to long-term income support for a significant fraction of the labor fo...

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

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.

First, we should absolutely not be selling chips, chip-making tools, or datacenters to the CCP.

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.

I don’t know exactly when it’ll come, I don’t know if it’ll be 2027. I think it’s plausible it could be longer than that. I don’t think it will be a whole bunch longer than that when AI systems are better than humans at almost everything. Better than...

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...
