Anthropic is launching a new "Hard Questions" initiative that invites the public to submit their most difficult questions about artificial intelligence, committing to transparently report on how the company addresses them. The company aims to better understand public hopes and concerns regarding AI's impact on jobs, society, and science.
- Anthropic has already surveyed 52,000 Americans via the Anthropic Public Record and 81,000 Claude users across 159 countries through the Anthropic Interviewer.
- The company has conducted in-person focus groups and studied anonymized real-world data on Claude usage.
- The new Anthropic Institute will confront significant societal challenges posed by AI, overseen by the Long-Term Benefit Trust.
This initiative allows users to share their views on a website where Anthropic will publicly track specific actions taken to address those questions and clearly state any shortcomings.
