The Only Thing Standing Between Humanity and AI Apocalypse Is … Claude?

The Only Thing Standing Between Humanity and AI Apocalypse Is Claude? As AI systems grow more powerful, Anthropic's resident philosopher says the startup is betting Claude itself can learn the wisdom needed to avoid disaster. Anthropic is locked in a paradox: Among the top AI companies, it's the most obsessed with safety and leads the pack in researching how models can go wrong. But even though the safety issues it has identified are far from resolved, Anthropic is pushing just as aggressively as its rivals toward the next, potentially more dangerous, level of artificial intelligence. Its core mission is figuring out how to resolve that contradiction. Last month, Anthropic released two documents that both acknowledged the risks associated with the path it's on and hinted at a route it could take to escape the paradox.
