Anthropic Releases Responsible Scaling Policy Version 3.0

Anthropic has published the third version of its Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP), a voluntary framework for mitigating catastrophic risks from increasingly capable AI systems. The update reflects two-plus years of experience with the original RSP, reinforcing what worked (ASL-3 safeguards activated in May 2025, industry adoption by OpenAI and Google DeepMind, informing early AI policy) while addressing shortcomings in accountability and transparency. The new version refines the AI Safety Level (ASL) framework and introduces new measures for decision-making transparency. Anthropic acknowledges that some elements of its original theory of change—particularly multilateral coordination and government action at higher capability thresholds—have not fully materialized as hoped.
