| Anthropic Anthropic RSP v3.4 / Advanced AI Framework | “§4(4) "Noncompliance reporting", verbatim: "We will maintain a process for Anthropic staff to submit anonymous or identified reports regarding potential noncompliance with this policy. Staff will have more than one option for who receives these reports, including the RSO, and at least one executive who does not report to the RSO. When we receive a report, we will promptly investigate, take appropriate and proportional corrective action if it is substantiated, and document the report and our findings. We will provide quarterly updates to the Board regarding reports of potential noncompliance, whether substantiated or not ... we will protect reporters from retaliation, and where a report concerns the conduct of the RSO, at least one recipient will be a member of the Board." §4(5) "Employee agreements": non-disparagement clauses may not "preclude raising safety concerns, nor ... preclude disclosure of the existence of that clause." AAF: "anonymous internal channels for employees and contractors to flag compliance concerns or activities that pose serious public safety risks" (p.11).” Also cites {AAF}. | exact confidence: high | Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy v3.4 |
| OpenAI OpenAI Preparedness Framework v2 | “"Any employee can raise concerns about potential violations of this policy, or about its implementation, via our Raising Concerns Policy." (§5.1)” | exact confidence: high | OpenAI Preparedness Framework v2 |
| xAI xAI Risk Management Framework (Aug 2025) / Frontier AI Framework (30 Jun 2026) | “Aug 2025 RMF: anonymous employee reporting of RMF non-adherence with protection from retaliation. June 2026: employee escalation is a detection channel; "No whistleblower or non-retaliation provisions" (brief finding).” Also cites {FAIF26} (PDF metadata reads 'Privileged/Confidential DRAFT working FRAMEWORK DOC'; draft-vs-final status unresolved, open-VERIFY register item 4). Note the apparent regression: the Aug 2025 RMF had anonymous reporting with retaliation protection, but the June 2026 FAIF is found to have none -- record both dates rather than a single current value. | close confidence: medium | xAI Risk Management Framework (20 Aug 2025) |
