Anthropic partners with Australian government on AI safety research and science initiatives

Anthropic has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Australian government to collaborate on AI safety research and support Australia's national AI plan goals. It will work with Australia's AI Safety Institute and academic institutions to share research findings on emerging model capabilities and risks, and participate in joint security assessments.

Additionally, Anthropic will share human economic index data, explore investing in data center infrastructure and energy in Australia. Its "AI for Science" project will expand to Australia, providing 3 million AUD worth of Claude API credits to four institutions to help address pressing challenges.
