Anthropic's PBC Safeguards Not in Its Charter, Legal Analysis Warns Commitments Unenforceable
davidmanheim · x · 2026-09-03
davidmanheim cites a legal analysis noting that for Anthropic's public benefit corporation commitments to be legally binding, they must be incorporated into the PBC's Certificate of Incorporation — which is currently not the case. He adds that Anthropic promised state AGs these safeguards would remain, but claims that commitment is clearly not being followed.
