Anthropic hired Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar as its first chief global affairs officer, a role covering policy, government relations, and the company’s engagement with governments abroad. Cuéllar ran the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace until earlier this year, served as a justice on the California Supreme Court before that, worked in three presidential administrations, and now teaches at Stanford Law School. He joined Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust in January and has given up that seat to take the job, with the trust choosing a replacement through its usual process. “Democracies must set the terms on which this technology advances,” Cuéllar said.
