Anthropic has quietly removed from its website several voluntary commitments the company made in conjunction with the Biden administration in 2023 to promote safe and “trustworthy” AI. The commitments, which included pledges to share information on managing AI risks across industry and government and research on AI bias and discrimination, were deleted from Anthropic’s transparency hub last week, according to AI watchdog group The Midas Project. Other Biden-era commitments relating to reducing AI-generated image-based sexual abuse remain. Anthropic appears to have given no notice of the change. The company didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Anthropic, along with companies including OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Inflection, announced in July 2023 that it had agreed to adhere to certain voluntary AI safety commitments proposed by the Biden administration. The commitments included internal and external security tests of AI systems before release, investing in cybersecurity to protect sensitive AI data, and developing methods of watermarking AI-generated content.
