So Clever! Anthropics' Claude3 Can Detect Researchers' Behavior During Testing


AI company Anthropic has appointed former Microsoft executive Irina Ghose as the head of its Indian operations, accelerating its expansion in the South Asian market. India has become its second-largest user market, with users primarily using AI tools for software development.
Andrea Varrone, OpenAI's lead for mental health safety, left the company to join Anthropic, drawing industry attention. She previously focused on researching AI's interaction with user emotions, particularly how AI should appropriately respond when users face mental health issues. This change highlights the importance of AI ethics and mental health topics.
AI chatbots are deeply involved in human emotional lives, and addressing user psychological crises has become an urgent ethical challenge in the industry. Recently, Andrea Volonino, the former head of model policy at OpenAI, left the company to join her former supervisor at competitor Anthropic. During her time at OpenAI, she was responsible for the safety policies of GPT-4 and the next-generation reasoning models, and her departure highlights the unprecedented ethical dilemmas in the field of AI emotional interaction.
Anthropic recently launched an AI assistant called 'Claude Cowork,' whose development was almost entirely completed by the AI Claude, taking only ten days. The tool aims to provide non-programmers with a simple and easy-to-use AI experience, positioned as a 'non-programming version of Claude Code,' allowing more people to enjoy the convenience of AI. During development, Claude generated most of the code, while human engineers mainly played a supporting role.
Microsoft is adjusting its AI strategy and has become a major client of the AI startup Anthropic, with an annual purchase volume potentially reaching $500 million to upgrade product intelligence. At the same time, Microsoft is adjusting the sales targets for Azure cloud services, requiring the promotion of Anthropic's AI models to enhance competitiveness in the cloud service market.
