Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that focuses on building reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Founded in January 2021 by Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Sam McCandlish, Jack Clark, Tom Brown, and others who previously worked at OpenAI, Anthropic aims to address the challenges of scaling AI technology in a safe and beneficial manner. Their work revolves around understanding and guiding the development of artificial intelligence to ensure its impacts are positive and aligned with human values. One of the key concepts introduced by Anthropic is the development of "Constitutional AI," which refers to creating AI models that are governed by a set of principles or rules intended to align their actions with human values and ethical considerations. This approach is part of their broader effort to make AI systems more interpretable and controllable by humans, thereby reducing the risks associated with powerful AI technologies.
