morqon · x · 2026-10-22

A leaked/examined section (3.6.1) of Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy spells out how external reviewers are selected: they must have significant expertise in evaluations of dangerous AI capabilities, including how such evaluations can mislead (e.g., alignment faking); they must have reputational incentives to be candid about risks rather than depend on Anthropic's continued business; and they must have no conflicts of interest — neither the reviewing organization nor anyone in the reviewers' reporting chain may hold a financial interest in Anthropic or have close personal relationships (family, romantic, or shared living arrangements) with anyone at the company. External reviewer selection is consulted with the Board and approved by the LTBT.
