Donating another $20 million to Public First Action

Anthropic News

Anthropic donated an additional $20 million to Public First Action, a non-partisan organization advocating for AI safeguards and policy, bringing total support to $40 million. The donation supports public education efforts and policy work, with Anthropic citing rapidly advancing AI capabilities—including Claude Mythos Preview discovering thousands of software vulnerabilities—as justification for stricter government oversight, transparency requirements, and safety testing before deployment. The funding aims to build political support for regulations including independent model evaluation, export controls on chips, and government authority to slow or block AI models posing catastrophic risk.
