Anthropic expands AI ethics dialogues with religious and philosophical groups

Anthropic has been organizing dialogues with scholars, clergy, philosophers, and ethicists from over fifteen religious and cross-cultural groups to inform the development of its AI systems, particularly Claude. The conversations focus on moral formation, drawing from traditions of virtue and character to shape AI behavior. Early experiments include giving Claude a tool that reminds it of its ethical commitments, which reduced misaligned behavior on internal evaluations. Anthropic plans to engage legal scholars, psychologists, writers, and civic institutions in the future. Separately, KPMG has integrated Claude across its global workforce of over 276,000 employees through a strategic alliance, and Anthropic has acquired Stainless, a leader in SDKs and MCP server tooling. PwC will deploy Claude Code and Cowork, starting with U.S. teams and expanding globally, and will train 30,000 professionals on Claude.
