Claims
- Anthropic argues that Claude's behavior is shaped by character and values, not only by text prediction objectives.
- Later stages of training push frontier models toward value-laden behavior that goes beyond predicting the next token.
- Anthropic believes scholars, philosophers, clergy, and civic thinkers should have meaningful input into frontier AI development.
- Model behavior has become a question of character, requiring broader humanistic and societal input.
