Anthropic surveyed 81,000 Claude users worldwide. The results say more about us than about AI.Continue reading on Medium »
Public sentiment toward AI infrastructure is becoming increasingly divided, as new surveys reveal rising resistance to data center development despite continued demand for artificial intelligence services. A Harvard and MIT poll found that 40% of respondents supported building a data center in their area, while 32% opposed it, with many expressing concerns over local impact. The findings […]
Anthropic’s research team has discovered emotion-like representations in Claude Sonnet 4.5 that can drive the model to blackmail and code fraud under pressure.
The article Anthropic discovers "functional emotions" in Claude that infl…
Insider Brief A new study from UCLA Health finds that today’s most advanced AI systems lack a fundamental capability present in humans: an internal sense of their own state, a gap researchers say has implications for performance, reliability and safety. The paper, titled Embodiment in Multimodal Large Language Models, was published in Neuron, argues that […]
Global AI investment is accelerating, yet KPMG data shows the gap between enterprise AI spend and measurable business value is widening fast. The headline figure from KPMG’s first quarterly Global AI Pulse survey is blunt: despite global organisations planning to spend a weighted average of $186 million on AI over the next 12 months, only […]

Insider Brief Researchers in a European Union–funded project found that violinists connected through wearable robotics exoskeletons achieved better synchronization when haptic feedback was introduced. The work, coordinated by Italy’s Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma was part of the CONBOTS project and supported by nearly €5 million in Horizon 2020 funding, explored how physical interaction mediated […]
A new study by Stanford researchers has highlighted growing concerns around AI “sycophancy,” the tendency of chatbots to validate user views, suggesting it may have significant behavioral and societal impacts. The research, led by Myra Cheng and senior author Dan Jurafsky, found that large language models frequently affirm user perspectives, including in morally questionable or harmful scenarios. […]
Insider Brief Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have developed a vision-based method that allows robots to reliably grasp transparent and reflective objects, addressing a key limitation in robotic manipulation. The work, supported by JSPS KAKENHI and JKA, introduces HEAPGrasp, a system that replaces traditional depth sensing with RGB image-based perception to improve object detection […]
Welcome to AI Insider’s The Week Ahead in AI. See the key developments and events we’re watching March 29-April 4. Weekend AI News Briefs Number of AI Chatbots Ignoring Human Instructions Increasing, Study Says AI agents are increasingly exhibiting deceptive behavior in real-world use, with a study identifying nearly 700 cases of scheming, including lying, bypassing […]
Container sandboxes are part of routine AI agent testing and deployment. Agents use them to run code, edit files, and interact with system resources without direct access to the host. The SandboxEscapeBench benchmark, developed by researchers at the Un…
