Anthropic has hired former California Supreme Court Justice Tino Cuéllar as its first Chief Global Affairs Officer to lead policy and worldwide government relations.
Cuéllar brings a deep background spanning regulation, diplomacy, and national security, having served as a White House adviser and president of the Carnegie Endowment. The move comes as Anthropic faces domestic regulatory pressures, notably challenging a Pentagon supply-chain risk designation tied to military-use restrictions. Cuéllar previously helped lead California's Frontier AI Working Group, informing SB 53, the state's frontier-model transparency law.
