Anthropic's AI Safety Chief Advocates Government Cooperation

Sarah Heck, Anthropic's head of public policy, stated that AI companies should not rely solely on an 'honor code' for safety and oversight during her speech at the Politico Decoded Summit on September 16, 2026. Heck emphasized the need for collaboration with the government to tackle regulatory challenges. This follows a call from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for the tech industry to slow AI model development, a sentiment supported by several industry leaders. This could signify a shift towards more structured regulation in AI, which may influence how quickly companies can bring new AI technologies to market.
