The agreement covers AI safety and security, model evaluation, research into AI adoption and its effects, and responsible use in public and private sectors. CNA reported that the memorandum was signed on October 13, ahead of the office opening. [1][2]
Anthropic says planned work includes technical exchanges on model testing, evaluation standards and incident response, as well as efforts to support AI skills and responsible adoption.
