Anthropic Builds Team To Track Societal Impacts

Deep Ganguli built Anthropic’s societal impacts team beginning after OpenAI’s 2020 GPT-3 paper, growing it into a nine-person unit over four years to study AI harms and usage. The team developed Clio, a monitoring tool that revealed misuse—including explicit pornographic story generation and coordinated SEO spam—and published results to strengthen safeguards, urging real-time monitoring and public transparency as LLMs scale.
