Anthropic Watch posted an update
Anthropic has hired UK lobbying firm Charlesbye ahead of its planned IPO, Bloomberg reports, adding a political operator as calls to regulate AI mount.
Why it mattersThe firm is run by a former aide to Boris Johnson, the report says. It does not specify what work Charlesbye has been asked to do, so the hire is a sign of political engagement, not evidence of a particular lobbying position.
Discuss: Should AI firms bring political insiders into the debate over regulation, or does that risk giving the industry too much influence over the rules?
