Anthropic drops categorical safety pause from Responsible Scaling Policy

Time reported that Anthropic removed its previous categorical commitment to pause development of AI systems when safety mitigations cannot be proven adequate.

The updated RSP v3.0 instead says Anthropic may delay high-capability models only if it is both a leader in the field and believes catastrophic risk is significantly elevated.

Anthropic said the change reflects a pragmatic response to competition and the absence of binding regulation.
