Anthropic has established the National Security and Public Sector Advisory Council to bolster U.S. and allied nations' technological capabilities amid global strategic competition. Comprising experienced bipartisan leaders from various government sectors, the council will guide Anthropic in developing high-impact applications across cybersecurity, intelligence, and scientific research. Key members include former U.S. Senators, intelligence officials, and defense leaders, who will also assist in fostering public-private partnerships and setting industry standards for responsible national security technology use. Anthropic is committed to advancing AI capabilities in the public sector, exemplified by partnerships with the Department of Defense and other entities to deploy AI models like Claude for national security purposes. The initiative reflects a broader effort to ensure the safe and effective integration of advanced AI technologies, reinforcing the leadership of the U.S. and its allies in the field.
