A day after announcing new AI models designed for U.S. national security app<\/a>lications, Anthropic has appointed<\/a> a national security expert, Richard Fontaine, to its long-term benefit trust. <\/p>\n

Anthropic\u2019s long-term benefit trust is a governance mechanism that Anthropic claims helps it promote safety over profit, and which has the power to elect some of the company\u2019s board of directors. The trust\u2019s other members include Centre for Effective Altruism CEO Zachary Robinson, Clinton Health Access Initiative CEO Neil Buddy Shah, and Evidence Action President Kanika Bahl.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that Fontaine\u2019s hiring will \u201c[strengthen] the trust\u2019s ability to guide Anthropic through complex decisions\u201d about AI as it relates to security. <\/p>\n

\u201cRichard\u2019s expertise comes at a critical time as advanced AI capabilities increasingly intersect with national security considerations,\u201d Amodei continued. \u201cI\u2019ve long believed that ensuring democratic nations maintain leadership in responsible AI development is essential for both global security and the common good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fontaine, who as a trustee won\u2019t have a financial stake in Anthropic, previously served as a foreign policy adviser to the late Sen. John McCain and was an adjunct professor at Georgetown teaching security studies. For more than six years, he led the Center for A New American Security, a national security think tank based in Washington, D.C., as its president.<\/p>\n

Anthropic has increasingly engaged U.S. national security customers as it looks for new sources of revenue.\u00a0In November, the company teamed up with Palantir and AWS, the cloud computing division of Anthropic\u2019s major partner and investor, Amazon, to sell Anthropic\u2019s AI to defense customers.<\/p>\n

To be clear, Anthropic isn\u2019t the only top AI lab going after defense contracts. OpenAI is\u00a0seeking<\/a>\u00a0to establish a closer relationship with the U.S. Defense Department, and Meta recently\u00a0revealed\u00a0that it\u2019s making its\u00a0Llama\u00a0models available to defense partners. Meanwhile, Google is\u00a0refining<\/a>\u00a0a version of its Gemini AI capable of working within classified environments, and Cohere, which primarily builds AI products for businesses, is also collaborating with Palantir to deploy its AI models.<\/p>\n

Fontaine\u2019s hiring comes as Anthropic beefs up its executive ranks. In May, the company named Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings to its board.
