Elon Musk's AI company Anthropic unveils 'ethical' chatbot

The article discusses the launch of an ’ethical’ chatbot by Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company co-founded by Elon Musk. The chatbot, named Claude, is designed to engage in open-ended conversations while adhering to principles of honesty, protecting individual privacy, and avoiding harmful or biased outputs. Anthropic aims to develop AI systems that are safe and beneficial to humanity. The company has raised over $200 million from investors, including Dustin Moskovitz, a co-founder of Facebook. Claude is trained using an approach called ‘constitutional AI,’ which involves encoding ethical principles into the AI model during training. However, some experts express skepticism about the ability of current AI systems to truly grasp complex ethical concepts. The article also mentions concerns about the potential misuse of AI technology and the need for responsible development and governance.
