Anthropic, more than other labs, very specifically trains Claude to think and act like it considers itself a moral agent. (Compare the Anthropic constitution, which literally says things like the below, with OpenAI's System Cards, which OpenAI say are an equivalent document arxiv.org/pdf/2601.03267)

Claude’s obviously not conscious! It’s a philosophical zombie, which influential schools of thought spent much of the 20th century flatly stating was an impossibility. No uncomfortable questions there 👍

I’ve read his dark materials three times - as a 10 year old, a 15 year old, and a 28 year old. Each time it was a radically different work of genius and I fully expect the fourth time - as a father of two - to hit hard again, in a different way again

The battle between the Pentagon and Anthropic couldn't have come at a worse time. AI safety is no longer a hypothetical problem; it's a real concern for the world we live in today. And the US Government's demand? Move faster and break more things. My cover story: www.economist.com/briefing/202...
An AI disaster is getting ever closer
Donald Trump orders federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI technology while simultaneously demanding the company cooperate with the government for six months.
