Anthropic Overhauls Responsible Scaling Policy With Public Accountability Measures

· Updated

Anthropic published version 3.0 of its Responsible Scaling Policy, restructuring the framework after two and a half years of experience. The biggest change: separating Anthropic's own safety commitments from its recommendations for what the full AI industry should adopt collectively — recognizing that higher safety levels may be impossible for any single company to achieve alone.

The update introduces two new accountability mechanisms. A Frontier Safety Roadmap sets public goals across security, alignment, safeguards, and policy — goals Anthropic will grade itself on publicly. Risk Reports published every 3-6 months will detail model safety profiles and threat models, with external expert review required under certain conditions.

RSP v3 also includes a candid self-assessment: capability thresholds proved more ambiguous than expected, and government safety action has lagged behind AI advances. Both the initial Frontier Safety Roadmap and first Risk Report are already published, making these commitments publicly trackable.

We're updating our Responsible Scaling Policy to its third version. Since it came into effect in 2023, we’ve learned a lot about the RSP’s benefits and its shortcomings. This update improves the policy, reinforcing what worked and committing us to even greater transparency.
