Anthropic Launches The Anthropic Institute for AI Societal Impact Research

Anthropic is establishing The Anthropic Institute, a new interdisciplinary research body led by co-founder Jack Clark in his new role as Head of Public Benefit. The Institute consolidates and expands three existing Anthropic teams—Frontier Red Team, Societal Impacts, and Economic Research—to study AI's effects on economies, jobs, governance, and legal systems. Notable founding hires include Matt Botvinick (AI and rule of law), Anton Korinek (transformative AI economics), and Zoë Hitzig (AI social/economic impacts). Anthropic is simultaneously expanding its Public Policy organization and opening a Washington DC office.
