Anthropic Company to Adhere to the EU Code of Conduct
The European Union (EU) has taken a significant step forward in its efforts to ensure the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) with the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice. This code, intended to be signed by Anthropic, aims to strike a balance between public visibility into AI safety and transparency practices and preserving the private sector's agility.
Anthropic, a leading AI company, has expressed its belief that the code advances principles of transparency, safety, and accountability. The company has also clarified which actors are in-scope for the ASL-3 Security Standard, following the most recent update of its Responsible Scaling Policy. This policy, refined multiple times based on practical insights from implementation, provides a framework for responsible AI development and deployment.
The determination of in-scope actors for the ASL-3 Security Standard was based on a deeper understanding of relevant threat models and model capabilities. Meanwhile, the industry is still developing best practices for assessing systemic risks identified in the EU AI Code.
The Frontier Model Forum, a platform that bridges industry and government, plays a critical role in this process. It translates technical insights into actionable policy and establishes common safety practices and evaluation standards for AI. The Forum is also instrumental in ensuring the Frontier Model Forum's role in establishing common safety practices and evaluation standards for AI.
The EU AI Act and Code have the potential to enable Europe to harness AI for innovation and competitiveness. The European Parliament is expanding access to decades of archives to citizens with AI, demonstrating the role of technology in enhancing accessibility and efficiency.
One of the key aspects of the EU Code is the inclusion of processes for assessing and mitigating systemic risks, including catastrophic risks from Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) weapons. This emphasis on safety is crucial, as different risks require different methodologies for assessment.
Anthropic is committed to working with the EU AI Office and safety organizations to ensure the EU AI Code remains robust and responsive to emerging technologies. The European AI Board, which collaborates with EU member states' authorities, security organizations, and other relevant stakeholders, is instrumental in this collaboration. This cooperation involves the European Commission, national regulatory bodies, and public-private partnerships to create harmonized approaches to AI safety and compliance across the EU.
AI has the potential to add more than a trillion euros per year to the EU economy by the mid-2030s. However, this potential can only be realised with a collaborative approach that combines regulatory frameworks with flexibility. This approach is essential for Europe to harness AI's benefits while competing effectively on the global stage.
One example of this approach in action is Novo Nordisk, a pharmaceutical company that is accelerating breakthrough drug discovery with AI. By working together, companies like Novo Nordisk and organisations such as Anthropic and the Frontier Model Forum can help the EU realise its vision of a safe, responsible, and innovative AI landscape.
