Anthropic revealed on July 21, 2025, that it plans to sign the EU’s voluntary Code of Practice for general-purpose AI. This move aligns with Anthropic’s long-standing principles of transparency, safety, and accountability in developing frontier AI systems.

The Code, which complements the EU AI Act,mandates risk assessments, safety and security frameworks, and measures against misuse, especially concerning CBRN threats. Anthropic believes that this approach supports innovation while addressing regulatory complexity.

By participating, the company aims to maintain access to the EU market and contribute to responsible AI deployment across sectors like drug discovery and legal services.
