AI progress continues to accelerate and the stakes are getting higher, so I’ve changed my role at @AnthropicAI to spend more time creating information for the world about the challenges of powerful AI.

My new role is Anthropic’s Head of Public Benefit. I’ll be working with several technical teams to generate more information about the societal, economic and security impacts of our systems, and to share this information widely to help us work on these challenges with others.

To do this, I’m setting up something new at the company: The Anthropic Institute. This will be the engine room for generating new insights for the world about powerful AI.

@powerbottomson the goal is to create new information about our AI systems as well as the platforms we deploy them via and share this with world. Other teams will be able to take advantage of this, so I'd expect such information to be helpful to externally facing teams like policy, comms, etc.
