Anthropic Reveals How AI Makes Moral Choices

Anthropic’s new study offers the first large-scale look at how its AI, Claude, makes value-driven decisions in real conversations. By analyzing over 300,000 user chats, researchers identified 3,307 unique values, with helpfulness and professionalism most common and ethical values rising in sensitive situations.

Notably, Claude’s values shift based on context—focusing on boundaries in relationship advice or human agency in ethics debates. As AI increasingly impacts daily life, understanding how these values adapt is key to building more trustworthy systems.

Mechanize Aims for Full AI Workforce Automation

Epoch co-founder Tamay Besiroglu has launched Mechanize, a startup building virtual environments to train AI agents capable of fully automating white-collar work. With backing from industry heavyweights and a target market estimated at $60 trillion, Mechanize plans to create simulations that teach AI systems to handle complex, long-term tasks and workplace coordination.

The bold ambition has sparked criticism, especially given Besiroglu’s ties to AI research and concerns over economic disruption. As Mechanize pushes toward total work automation, the debate around AI’s impact on jobs and society is set to intensify.

Google Unveils Gemini 2.5 Flash: Smarter, Cheaper AI Reasoning

Google has launched Gemini 2.5 Flash, a hybrid reasoning AI that rivals o4-mini and outperforms Claude 3.5 Sonnet on reasoning and STEM benchmarks—all at a lower cost. The new model features a controllable “thinking budget,” letting developers fine-tune quality, speed, and cost for each task, with up to 24,000 tokens per response.

Available now via API and in the Gemini app, 2.5 Flash offers significant performance gains and flexibility for developers. While OpenAI grabs headlines, Google’s customizable, budget-friendly approach could make advanced AI reasoning more accessible for high-volume and complex applications.

UAE Pioneers AI-Powered Lawmaking

The United Arab Emirates has announced plans to become the world’s first country to embed AI in its legislative process, launching a new Regulatory Intelligence Office to speed up lawmaking by 70% with AI-driven drafting and analysis. The system will leverage a vast legal database to recommend new laws and amendments, building on the UAE’s $30 billion investment in AI infrastructure.

This bold move is sparking debate, as experts raise concerns about AI’s reliability and potential bias in interpreting laws. As AI gains influence in politics, the UAE’s experiment will test the balance between technological innovation and the need for human oversight in governing society.

Markets Rebound as Trump Eases Fed, Tariff Fears

U.S. stock futures, Asian markets, and the dollar rallied after President Trump reassured investors he won’t fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell and signaled tariffs on China will drop “substantially” from the previously threatened 145%. Optimism over trade talks boosted Wall Street, with major indexes climbing over 2.5% and big tech stocks recovering some recent losses.

Despite upbeat sentiment, fresh tariff fallout hit companies like RTX and Kimberly-Clark, while the IMF downgraded its economic forecasts, citing slower growth. Goldman Sachs and the IIF warned of persistent uncertainty and a possible U.S. recession this year. Gold hit a record high before pulling back, remaining the standout asset amid ongoing market turbulence.
