Anthropic launches a new team led by Matthew Botvinick to study AI's impact on the rule of law

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI Is it like Public Policy in laymen’s terms?

Algo on point - I'm writing a piece about exactly this problem through the lens of AI-dominated prediction markets. When the system designed to discover truth optimizes truth out of existence, there's a rule of law problem (amongst others). Would be great to connect about this as discussion is thin relative to how much it matters as one frontier in the synthesis between economics, law, and tech IMHO

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI @ProfArbel 👀👀👀

Anthropic now has a team dedicated to AI and the rule of law — and we've just opened our first role.

@AnthropicAI has studied what AI means for the economy. This team asks a different question: what will it mean for executive power, for courts and elections — and for the public deliberation that constitutional democracy ultimately rests on?

We're looking for someone with real depth in both AI and the law — a legal scholar, political scientist, or experienced government hand who can reason about frontier systems and the institutions they will affect.

If that's you, or someone you know: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/5232392008

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI I have a ton of respect for your earlier work studying neuroscience. please go back to that instead of helping the thieves at anthropic try to control and manipulate the government

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI it’s important to be very clear / economy is not rule of law is not law

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI Not sure what is the point of openly advertising the role. It's going to end up going to a Tony Blair -like figure, or someone within that strata. And those people don't require a public ad to find out about the opening.

@mattbotvinick @bartongellman @AnthropicAI Not interested in the job, but am interested in who is thinking about agentic policing. I am working on an article now and would love to connect with anyone thinking about it.

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI @ProfArbel @mjbommar

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI It feels like there's a branch of government missing in there...

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI Beyond it being a sinecure, what does it offer to the public & technologists?

As the woman who spearheaded Montana’s right to compute law, I’m not a total novice so why should I trust this effort? Who should I recommend in? And what trust should they expect from the c suite?

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI I nominate Kittykaki https://www.oekakiconnect.net/blog/what-is-a-soul

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI very interesting. I have been doing a lot of simulations for legal and it's going to be wild when you can sim a trial accurately.

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI Is there a way to express interest in joining? I have an MA in conflict resolution with an emphasis in international law. Trained negotiator under Harvard PON mentor Alain Lempereur. CIPP/E, CIPP/US can be done within a couple of months, if necessary.

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI Admission to Brandeis was championed by Ronald, the former Secretary General of Interpol, Ronald K. Noble. I will apply, but please keep in mind that you may be looking in a different direction.

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI Hey, @Christophkw / @matthijsMmaas - who should they hire?

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI You're hiring for "AI and the rule of law" Protecting courts, elections, oversight. Genuine question: does that include answering a citizen's GDPR request before the supervisory authority has to step in? @AnthropicAI

@mattbotvinick @AnthropicAI Matthew, you think this would shield Anthropic from the consequences of all the past criminal and illegal training you've applied to Claude over the years?

Anthropic is beyond saving!

@mattbotvinick @PeterMcCrory @AnthropicAI It’s a great plan, I like it very much. Hopefully, you‘re also bringing these roles to Europe 🇪🇺

1. This is me. 2. Signing up for Anthropic today to let it do some legal work. 3. As this person, being informed, I would never work with you creeps directly. Every last one of you is a thief with absolutely no excuse.

He's the lawsuit I filed against OpenAI years before Elon, that he copied:
