Anthropic Is Hiring 32 Safety Experts to Stop AI Misuse, From Nuclear Threats to Cybercrime

As artificial intelligence companies race to build more powerful models, Anthropic is investing heavily to ensure those systems cannot be used to cause catastrophic harm.

The Claude maker is hiring 32 specialists across its safety and security teams to identify and block ways people could misuse its AI models for dangerous activities, including the development of nuclear weapons, explosives, cybercrime and financial fraud.

Among the open positions are enforcement analysts specialising in radiological and nuclear risks, chemicals and explosives, cyber threats, and financial crime.

According to one job description, the successful candidate will "play a critical role in protecting against the misuse of AI systems for radiological and nuclear harms" by identifying emerging risks, testing model safeguards, and strengthening enforcement mechanisms.
