Artificial intelligence company Anthropic is launching a presidential engagement initiative ahead of the 2028 elections, Fortune reported. The company is creating an internal team to work directly with US presidential candidates from both major political parties on artificial intelligence policy. [1]
According to Fortune, the new team will also assist Anthropic leadership in setting political strategy and managing the company political funding program. Anthropic stated that it wants serious candidates and elected officials in both parties to understand the technology and the case for governing it well. [1]
Anthropic operates under a governance model that includes a Board of Directors and an independent Long-Term Benefit Trust to safeguard its public benefit purpose, Grokipedia notes. The company also uses a technique called Constitutional AI, which trains models using explicit principles rather than relying only on human feedback. [3]
