· Updated
The Anthropic Institute unifies three of Anthropic's research teams — the Frontier Red Team (stress-testing AI capabilities), Societal Impacts (studying real-world AI use), and Economic Research (tracking job and economic impact). Jack Clark, Anthropic's co-founder, takes a new role as Head of Public Benefit to lead it. New teams are being incubated, with current work on AI progress forecasting and AI's interaction with the legal system.
Frontier labs hold information the public doesn't have — what these systems can actually do before it's broadly known. The Institute's purpose is to share that inside knowledge with researchers, policymakers, and communities facing displacement. Anthropic is also expanding its Public Policy team and opening a DC office this spring.
Researchers and policymakers following AI's societal impact now have a named body inside a frontier lab publishing what it's seeing. Track their research priorities to understand which governance questions Anthropic considers most urgent.
