Anthropic is preparing for global elections in 2024 with a focus on detecting and mitigating potential misuse of their AI tools in political contexts. The company has developed policies around election issues, evaluates and tests how their models perform against election misuses, and ensures that users are directed to accurate information about voting. Anthropic's Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the use of their tools for political campaigning and lobbying, and they have implemented automated systems to detect and prevent misuse. The company is also conducting targeted "red-teaming" exercises to test for ways that their systems might be used to violate their policies, and has built an in-house suite of technical evaluations to assess election-related risks. In the United States, Anthropic will trial an approach where they use their classifier and rules engine to identify election-related queries and redirect users to accurate voting information.
