Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often from boards, event organisers and newsrooms.
01 What is Antropic?
Antropic is an independent research, executive education and advisory institute dedicated to the impact of artificial intelligence on business and management decision-making. A European institute with Italian roots, it works across four pillars — research, advisory, education and public speaking — with a single object of study: human decisions in the post-automation era.
02 What sets Antropic apart from a technology consultancy?
Independence. Antropic sells no technology, resells no licences and takes no fees from technology vendors. Its only mandate is the quality of the decision taken by those who run the organisation: this removes the conflict of interest that accompanies many AI adoption choices.
03 Who does the institute serve?
Boards, CEOs, executive management and executive committees, as well as institutions and universities. Programmes and analysis are built for decision-makers, in executive language: clear theses, cited evidence, operational implications.
04 How is an advisory engagement structured?
Every engagement opens with a framing session at senior level. Cycles of work with the board or the executive committee follow, with position papers and continuing availability in critical decision windows. The four modules are described on the Advisory page.
05 How is confidentiality handled?
Advisory sessions and board briefings take place behind closed doors and are covered by confidentiality. The institute does not name clients, publishes no identifiable cases and does not use session content in its research without express agreement.
06 How does one invite Antropic to an event or a keynote?
By Calendly, email or telephone, stating the date, city, audience and format. The reply comes with a proposed angle and title for the address. The available keynotes and formats are described on the Speaking page.
07 How does one access the research reports?
The reports — Executive AI Outlook and Human + AI Index — are research programmes with editions in preparation. Access is requested by email; on request, delivery comes with a private guided-reading session.
08 What is the relationship between Antropic and AIPIA?
AIPIA, the Italian association of AI professionals, is the founder's association credential: Rafael Patron chairs its Scientific-Technical Committee. Antropic is an autonomous, independent institute, distinct from the association.
09 In which languages does the institute work?
English, Italian and Spanish. Advisory, education and keynotes are available in all three; the site and the research materials follow the same trilingual arrangement.
10 Does Antropic develop or sell AI systems?
No. The institute works on research, education and advisory concerning the impact of AI on decisions. Development, training and commercial distribution of systems, APIs and models sit outside its perimeter: it is a condition of the advisory's independence.
11 Where does one begin?
With the framing session: thirty minutes on Calendly to bring context, need and next steps into focus. Alternatively, an email with a brief description of the situation is enough to open the conversation.
