Anthropic has published a detailed overview of its internal Safeguards team, describing a multi-layer approach to preventing Claude misuse that spans policy development, model training influence, pre-deployment evaluation, and real-time enforcement. The team uses a Unified Harm Framework covering five dimensions (physical, psychological, economic, societal, autonomy) and conducts Policy Vulnerability Testing with external domain experts in areas like terrorism, child safety, and mental health. Pre-deployment evaluations include safety assessments, CBRNE-focused AI capability uplift testing with government partners, and bias evaluations.
