Anthropic Publishes Its Second Risk Report Under Responsible Scaling Policy

Anthropic publishes second Risk Report under Responsible Scaling Policy The AI company is trying to build a safety playbook for models that keep getting more powerful, complete with third-party audits and public scorecards. by Editorial Team Share Add us on Google Via abc7news.com Anthropic has released its second public Risk Report, a detailed assessment of what could go wrong with its most advanced AI systems and what the company plans to do about it. The report falls under the company’s Responsible Scaling Policy, a framework that essentially says: before we make these models more capable, we need to understand what new dangers come with that capability. ## What the Responsible Scaling Policy actually requires [...] Share Add us on Google by Editorial Team Anthropic has released its second public Risk Report, a detailed assessment of what could go wrong with its most advanced AI systems and what the company plans to do about it.

# Introducing Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy Today, we’re publishing our Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP) – a series of technical and organizational protocols that we’re adopting to help us manage the risks of developing increasingly capable AI systems. As AI models become more capable, we believe that they will create major economic and social value, but will also present increasingly severe risks. Our RSP focuses on catastrophic risks – those where an AI model directly causes large scale devastation. Such risks can come from deliberate misuse of models (for example use by terrorists or state actors to create bioweapons) or from models that cause destruction by acting autonomously in ways contrary to the intent of their designers.

## August 14, 2026 We shared our August 2026 Risk Report. Our Risk Reports aim to provide a direct, candid, and informative description of how we see the risks of our systems and our state of preparedness for them (particularly the catastrophic risks addressed in our Responsible Scaling Policy). It covers the risks of Anthropic's models and actions between our previous February 2026 risk report and the report's coverage date of July 15, as well as our mitigations for those risks and our forward-looking plans in each category. ## July 8, 2026 [...] See the PDF Version 3.4 and redline (effective July 8, 2026) Version 3.3 and redline (effective May 26, 2026) Version 3.2 and redline (effective April 29, 2026) Version 3.1 and redline (effective April 2, 2026) Version 3.0 (effective February 24, 2026) Version 2.2 and redline (effective May 14, 2025) Version 2.1 (effective March 31, 2025) Version 2.0 (effective October 15, 2024) Version 1.0 (effective September 19, 2023) ## Ris

direction simply because we are unable to achieve them. By establishing this expectation, we hope to create a forcing function for work that would otherwise be challenging to appropriately prioritize and resource, as it requires collaboration (and in some cases sacrifices) from multiple parts of the company and can be at cross-purposes with immediate competitive and commercial priorities. Publishing our Frontier Safety Roadmap may also help inform broader industry and policy discussions on AI safety. Our current Frontier Safety Roadmap is available at anthropic.com/responsible-scaling-policy/roadmap. We will also keep past Roadmaps available at that link. 3.​ Risk Reports We will publish Risk Reports discussing the risks of our systems and how we have made determinations about whether to [...] 30 days of determining that we have an internally deployed model that is in-scope (per the description above), we will publish a discussion (in a System Card or elsewhere) of how that model’s cap

Our Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP) evaluation process is designed to systematically assess our models' capabilities in domains of potential catastrophic risk before releasing them. Under our Responsible Scaling Policy, we regularly publish comprehensive Risk Reports addressing the safety profile of our models. And if we release a model that is “significantly more capable” than those discussed in the prior Risk Report, we must “publish a discussion (in our System Card or elsewhere) of how that model’s capabilities and propensities affect or change analysis in the Risk Report.” Claude Opus 4.7 is significantly more capable than Claude Opus 4.6, the most capable model discussed in our most recent Risk Report. Despite these improved capabilities, our overall conclusion is that catastrophic
