Are AI Models More Than Just Code?
Anthropic just kicked off a bold new research project asking a wild question: should we care about the welfare of AI systems? Think of it like ethics for robots—exploring when and how AI might matter morally. It's not about feelings, but about future-proofing how we build and align smarter systems. This could shift how we talk about AI safety, kind of like moving from crash-test dummies to self-aware copilots.
