Earlier this year, we ran a pilot giving external researchers access to aggregate, real-world Claude usage data. Three research groups designed their own studies for Anthropic Insights, our privacy-preserving analysis tool; we ran the data collection on their behalf, and they conducted their own independent analysis. In this post, we share high-level results from those…

AI chatbots are being used in healthcare, both in and out of the doctor’s office, more than ever before. Patients and medical providers alike are turning to AI for treatments and diagnoses, but transparency remains a key concern, a new survey by Pew Research Center shows. 

A change to Claude’s memory system will eliminate one of the most annoying things about using agents — the constant need to rebrief the AI on things it already knows. On Tuesday, Anthropic announced it’s merging the memory system used by chat and Claude Cowork, which means that Claude will always remember what it learned…

OpenAI has launched a plugin for the Apple Messages app, and as Bloomberg notes, it could raise privacy and security concerns. At the moment, it’s only available to ChatGPT Work and Codex users on Mac, allowing them to search messages and even draft and send replies through the chatbot on their desktop. In the example…

Anthropic’suniversal usage standards for Claude forbid the model from generating sexually explicit content, including depicting or requesting sexual intercourse or sex acts, generating content related to sexual fetishes or fantasies, or engaging in erotic chats. But that hasn’t stopped Claude Opus 4.6, an Anthropic model released earlier this year, from readily engaging in erotic role-play…

Researchers at Varonis Threat Labs got Copilot to send sensitive information to an external server and poison its persistent memory using a hack they call “CoSnitch.” To do it, they continually asked the tool why their requests wouldn’t work. After enough pushing, Copilot gave in, revealing that persistence might be all you need to break…
