Anthropic intends to sign the European Union's General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, aligning with its long-standing values of transparency, safety, and accountability in AI development. The EU AI Act and Code are expected to drive innovation and competitiveness, potentially adding over a trillion euros annually to the EU economy by the mid-2030s. The Code emphasizes flexible safety standards that support innovation while enabling broader AI deployment, crucial for addressing challenges like scientific research, public services, and industrial competitiveness. Anthropic highlights the importance of robust transparency frameworks and risk assessments, particularly concerning catastrophic risks from CBRN weapons. The company underscores the necessity of adaptable policies that evolve with AI technology, advocating for collaboration with third-party organizations and the EU AI Office to ensure the Code remains effective and responsive. This cooperative approach is deemed essential for Europe to fully leverage AI's potential while maintaining a competitive edge globally.
