Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company dedicated to building reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI executives, the company operates as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), which legally binds them to prioritize safety and social good alongside profit. Their flagship product is 'Claude', a sophisticated AI assistant designed to be helpful, honest, and harmless. Anthropic distinguishes itself with 'Constitutional AI', a training method where the AI is taught to follow a specific set of ethical principles (a constitution) to avoid harmful or biased outputs.
