About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role Anthropic's Global Safety, Intelligence, and Security (GSIS) team protects our people, facilities, and operations worldwide. The function spans intelligence, executive protection, investigations, travel and event security, security technology, security operations, environmental health and safety, and crisis management — and it's growing quickly as Anthropic's footprint, public profile, and threat surface expand.
