Strengthening safeguards with US CAISI and UK AISI

What happened

Anthropic worked with the US Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) and the UK AI Security Institute (AISI) to let government red‑teamers test its Constitutional Classifiers on Claude Opus 4 and 4.1. The testers uncovered prompt‑injection, cipher‑based, and obfuscation vulnerabilities, as well as a universal jailbreak that bypassed existing safeguards. Anthropic used these findings to patch specific flaws, restructure its safeguard architecture, and improve detection of encoded or fragmented harmful content. Ongoing access is provided to early and latest classifier versions, enabling continuous testing and refinement of security measures.

Why it matters

These improvements help keep AI models from being misused in ways that could cause real‑world harm, making the technology safer for everyday users and businesses. The collaboration shows how government expertise can accelerate AI safety work.
