About Anthropic
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About the Team
As part of Anthropic’s work on the frontier of cybersecurity, we are forming a new team focused on steering the world through the next generation of cybersecurity. It is now clear that frontier AI models – Mythos and beyond – will have dramatic impacts on cybersecurity. This team will research the impacts of advanced models, beyond Mythos, on security – and publish the research and build + deploy the defenses the world needs to navigate it smoothly. We believe many parts of cybersecurity will need to be fundamentally reimagined for the age of powerful models.
This team is incubated with the highest priority within the Frontier Red Team, which studies the catastrophic risks and builds and advocates for defenses. See our previous related work on Mythos , N-days , exploits , 0-day , and finding vulns in hardened codebase . We also run Project Glasswing .
