All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
Anthropic's claim of an AI-driven scientific discovery is challenged by a University of Copenhagen computational biologist, Mario Rodríguez Mestre. He asserts that his team had been sharing their research on the same enzymes with Anthropic's AI model, Claude, for years, raising concerns about the AI's independent discovery.
Microsoft's A.I. chief, Mustafa Suleyman, argues that Anthropic is pushing its A.I. systems too hard to mimic human behaviors, raising concerns about potential dangers. This comes amidst a broader debate in the tech industry about A.I. anthropomorphism and consciousness.
