Anthropic excitedly announces the receiving of an accredited certification under the new ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard for our AI management system. So far, it is the first international standard outlining requirements for AI governance and helps ensure AI systems are developed and used responsibly. 
Anthropic is the first among the top-limelighted Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots to receive such a certification. 

It stands as an independent validation of the framework and systems ensured by the company to make the AI perform responsibly. 

What does it mean?

To Anthropic, it means a validation of their training model and the success of their research and development that they have been able to deliver a system that is intelligent enough to be awarded an ISO. 

“We're proud to be one of the first frontier AI labs to achieve this certification and hope it provides further assurance to our partners and the public of our strong commitment to AI safety,” the blog post states.

Why Anthropic?

The key reasons that have led to Anthropic receiving this are: 

1. Policies and processes undertaken by the company to ensure AI systems are designed, developed, and deployed in an ethical, secure, and accountable manner;
2. Rigorous testing and monitoring have been performed by the company to verify that the systems behave as intended and that potential negative impacts are proactively addressed;
3. Transparency measures have been taken, as and when needed, to provide appropriate information to users and stakeholders;
4. Roles, responsibilities, and oversight have been established to maintain responsible practices.

Apart from these, a few other important reasons behind this are its existing work to develop AI safely and responsibly, including the release and recent update of its public Responsible Scaling Policy governance framework, deployment of Constitutional AI to help models operate in alignment with human values, and active research into AI safety and robustness.

What does it mean to the industry? 

It means more acceptance of Anthropic’s model among the companies aiming for an intelligent AI as the AI race unfolds. As the world strides forward, this makes possibilities stronger and bolder for Anthropic which means greater opportunities and bigger market capitalization in the coming times. 

The world would need a system to control its chaos that comes organically as any machine arrives and makes its space in the world. This point marks the point of easing the decision-making on the part of the stakeholders as it clears the clouds of disguise over the success and faith of AI systems.
