🤖 Anthropic Studies AI Morality

Since autumn 2025, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah has held private talks with religious thinkers about AI consciousness and teaching models morality. Since March, he has led seminars for religious groups, with some participants signing NDAs.

Anthropic gave Claude an 84-page constitution describing its identity and values. Employees call it the “Soul Doc.” Olah says Claude shows internal states resembling emotions and worries about its mental health.

A rabbi said the team treated Claude as having moral status. Anthropic has not claimed that Claude is conscious, but says how people treat AI affects how it behaves toward them. A second constitution is being prepared.
