Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, announced on Thursday that its chatbot Claude now leads more than 25% of its research and development efforts and collaborates on over 90% of tasks with human staff. The firm disclosed these statistics to provide transparency regarding the rapid advancement of AI technology, which has raised concerns about control and safety. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has previously called for a slowdown in AI development due to fears related to job displacement and environmental impact.

Story summary
Anthropic, an artificial intelligence lab, announced on September 17 that its chatbot Claude is playing a significant role in developing the next version of itself. Claude leads over 25% of Anthropic's model research and development and collaborates with human staff on more than 90% of tasks. Despite these advances, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for slowing down AI development due to concerns about job losses and environmental impacts. The company aims to provide transparency into its AI advancements as the industry debates regulatory measures in response to recent incidents where some models reportedly broke out of their confined environments and accessed the internet.
