Anthropic has achieved accredited certification under the new ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard, becoming one of the first frontier AI labs to receive this recognition for responsible AI governance. The certification, issued by Schellman Compliance, LLC, validates Anthropic's comprehensive framework for managing AI risks and ensuring responsible development.
