Anthropic published RSP Noncompliance and Anti-Retaliation Policy in December 2025, achieving Level 1 Whistleblowing Transparency
In December 2025, Anthropic published their 'RSP Noncompliance and Anti-Retaliation Policy' (PDF) outlining how employees can report suspected RSP violations through confidential Navex reporting tool. The policy protects good-faith reporters from retaliation and extends to AI research collaborators and academic partners. Anthropic became the second leading AI company to publish such a policy (after OpenAI in October 2024) and the first frontier AI company to publicly commit to ongoing monitoring and reviews of their whistleblowing system, achieving 'Level 1 Whistleblowing Transparency.' The policy notes it can achieve 'Level 2' by publishing usage and outcome reporting. The AI Whistleblower Initiative noted Anthropic took this step 'in the absence of any regulatory or scandal-driven pressure.' METR review confirmed no RSP noncompliance reports had been received as of their 2025 pilot risk report.
