Anthropic, an artificial intelligence model developer, has appointed Mariano-Florentino Cuellar as its first chief global affairs officer. Cuellar, a former Democratic official and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace co-chair, will be responsible for managing relationships with the U.S. government and global partners as Anthropic expands its operations.
The appointment comes amid ongoing policy challenges and evolving AI regulations. Cuellar, who served on Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust, will report to Anthropic President Daniela Amodei.
