Why we used this label
The company offers an institutional defense of its safety approach; this is distinct from employees' personal views and preexisting background documents.
Context
Before the quotation
CNBC asked about employee comments warning of AI's potentially catastrophic risks.
After the quotation
This broader response coexists with a separate refusal about Sacks's post. Interview time unknown; September 10 is a reporting-date proxy and 12:00 UTC is a storage placeholder.
Sources
CNBC attributes a safety defense to an Anthropic spokesperson, separately says Anthropic declined a request about Sacks's post, and says OpenAI declined its employee-warning inquiry while noting recent blog posts. The two refusal excerpts are the reporter's wording, not verbatim corporate speech. Interview times are unspecified; publication date is the proxy. Only the calendar date is established; 12:00 UTC is a date-only storage placeholder, not a verified time.
