Anthropic is joining ARPA-H's clinical AI moonshot, according to STAT. The company is also planning a closed-door health care event. The news signals a deeper push into health care at a moment when the industry is still figuring out how to regulate AI.
The move is notable given Anthropic's public warnings about the possibility of AI catastrophe. STAT notes that the company is moving aggressively into health care even as AI regulation is in a state of flux.
Few details about the ARPA-H project or the closed-door event are available in the public version of the article, which sits behind STAT+'s paywall. Still, the combination of a federal research collaboration and a private industry event suggests Anthropic is positioning itself across both public and commercial health AI efforts.
