Anthropic sets fair negotiation norms for AI deal-making

anthropic is working with law firms to develop fair negotiation norms for ai agents that will act on behalf of users in various scenarios, including price negotiations and contract improvements. the company has conducted experiments showing that stronger ai models can secure better deals, which could exacerbate societal inequality if not addressed. anthropic is also hiring conceptual reasoning fellows, including lawyers, to test its claude model on complex judgment-based questions in law and other fields. this work is part of a broader effort to improve ai models in areas where data is scarce and right or wrong answers are not clear-cut.
