Anthropic will let Australia stress test dangerous new models

In remarks prepared for a joint parliamentary hearing on Tuesday, Anthropic general counsel Jeff Bleich pitched Anthropic’s prospective billions of data centre investments as an opportunity for Australia to shape AI rather than just consume it. “We are also delivering on the MOU we signed with the government in April by finalizing an agreement with the AI Safety Institute to enable it to run its own independent evaluations of our models,” Bleich wrote. Australia’s AI Safety Institute was established last year, funded by $29.9 million from the Federal Government.
