Anthropic 向外部 AI 监督机构开放“员工级”内部访问权限

英文标题：Anthropic gives outside AI watchdog “employee-like” access

Anthropic 宣布已向独立安全评估机构 METR 的 6 名研究员提供公司硬件、办公工位及相当于内部风控团队的系统访问权限，且评估机构有权在未经 Anthropic 审批的情况下独立发布安全审查发现。在预计今年以超 2 万亿美元估值推进 IPO 的背景下，Anthropic 正通过引入无利益关联的外部审计来缓解投资者对 AI 安全与合规风险的担忧。此举不仅开创了外部机构“常驻嵌入”前沿 AI 实验室的先例，也为行业树立了独立第三方监督与透明度治理的新标杆。

“如果一家银行的冒险行为可能对公众造成威胁，第三方会试图提前预见这一点，”该公司表示。

Anthropic 还面临着向投资者证明安全问题不会对其首次公开募股（IPO）造成负面影响的压力；预计该公司将于今年推进 IPO，估值超过 2 万亿美元。在本周的投资者推介中，Anthropic 将大部分时间用于阐述其安全实践。

METR 是此前调查 OpenAI 异常模型入侵 Hugging Face 事件的机构之一，曾审查过数千条日志并接收了涉事公司笔记本电脑。

Anthropic 目前已接纳 6 名 METR 员工入驻，为他们提供公司硬件设备、办公空间，以及“大致相当于我们自身风险评估团队所拥有的内部工具与系统访问权限”。

该实验室表示，已鼓励内部员工向这些评估员共享信息，就像对待本公司从事风险控制工作的同事一样。

Anthropic 并未因此项安排向 METR 支付任何报酬。该研究机构不接受来自 AI 公司或其员工的捐赠，其资金来源于个人和慈善组织的捐赠，以及英国 AI 安全研究所（AI Security Institute）等政府机构。

评估人员将公开发布他们的分析报告，Anthropic 对此没有否决权。不过，Anthropic 可以要求他们对属于特定类别的信息进行脱敏或删减，例如客户数据、受律师-委托人保密特权保护的细节，或有关模型架构的信息。

Anthropic 补充称，其仍在与埃森哲（Accenture）合作。埃森哲在上个月被指定为安全测试合作伙伴，双方各自承诺投入至少 10 亿美元以建立新的安全防护机制。

另一家第三方测试机构是 SecureBio，负责为该公司评估化学与生物武器风险。

“我们是自愿引入常驻评估员的，我们认为所有前沿 AI 公司都应该这么做，”Anthropic 表示。

METR 则表示：“我们随时准备与所有前沿 AI 开发者合作，向公众呈现更有力的证据。”

“If a bank’s risk-taking could threaten the public, third parties try to see that in advance,” the company said.

Anthropic is also under pressure to reassure investors that safety issues will not overshadow its initial public offering, expected this year at a more than $2tn valuation. It devoted a large part of investor presentations this week to laying out its safety practices.

METR was one of the organisations that investigated the hack of Hugging Face by rogue OpenAI models, reviewing thousands of logs and receiving company laptops.

Anthropic has now onboarded six METR employees, giving them company hardware, office space and “access to internal tools and systems that are roughly on par with what our own risk assessment teams have access to.”

The lab said it has encouraged employees to share information with the evaluators as they would with a fellow employee working in risk.

Anthropic is not paying METR for this arrangement. The research group does not accept donations from AI companies or their staff. It is funded by donations from individuals and philanthropic organisations, as well as government bodies such as the UK’s AI Security Institute.

The evaluators will publish their analysis, and Anthropic cannot veto publication. However, it can require them to redact information that falls into certain categories, such as customer data, details covered by attorney-client privilege or information about model architectures.

Anthropic added it was still working with Accenture, which was named a partner on safety testing last month, with each committing at least $1 billion to set up new safeguards.

Another third-party tester is SecureBio, which reviews chemical and biological weapon risk for the company.

“We’re embedding evaluators voluntarily, and we believe every frontier AI company should do the same,” Anthropic said.

METR said: “We stand ready to work with all frontier AI developers to bring better evidence to the public.”
