Anthropic appoints a national security expert, Richard Fontaine, to its long-term benefit trust a day after unveiling new AI models tailored for U.S. national security applications.
Fontaine's role in the trust, along with other members like Zachary Robinson and Neil Buddy Shah, is to guide Anthropic in making complex decisions related to AI and security.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei emphasizes the importance of democratic nations leading in responsible AI development for global security and the common good.
Fontaine, a former foreign policy adviser to John McCain and president of a national security think tank, does not have a financial stake in Anthropic and joins as the company continues to engage with U.S. national security customers.
