Anthropic's website states its mission as building steerable, interpretable and reliable AI systems.

Judge as of 2022-03-04. True if Anthropic's website at or around that date (e.g. homepage or about page) described its mission or vision as building steerable, interpretable and reliable AI systems, in those or essentially equivalent words. Mostly true if the website used the three qualities with minor wording differences (e.g. a different order, 'AI safety and research company that builds reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems'). Mixed if the website stated only some of the three qualities as the mission. Mostly false if the phrase appeared on the site only incidentally and not as a mission or vision statement, or if it appeared only well before or after the date. False if the website's stated mission at that time was materially different and did not include these qualities.

10. E10 Anthropic Vivarium wiki (vivarium.sh) · 24 July 2026

    “Anthropic's company page describes it as "an AI safety and research company" that builds "reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems,"”

No evidence shows Anthropic's homepage or about page as it stood around 2022-03-04. E1 (May 2021) and E3 (April 2022) are news posts on Anthropic's site. E1 and E3 describe research or funding goals using steerable, interpretable and robust, and the same May 2021 post also refers to reliable and steerable AI systems (E2); none of these presents the wording as the site's mission statement. E7 and E8 show the 'reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems' wording on the homepage and company page in 2026, so they cannot establish what the site said at the judged date.
