    Anthropic will start using AI to interview its users... about their experience with AI.

    The research pilot program will run for a week, and each AI interview will take 10 to 15 minutes, per Anthropic. Questions include what the user would most ideally like AI’s help with and whether there are “ways that AI might be developed or deployed that would be contrary to your vision or what you value.” It seems to be part of Anthropic’s societal impacts team’s push to do more social science research on how AI affects people. But, as the AI interviewer itself tells people who opt in, “AI asking about AI [is a] bit self-referential.”

    It’s their job to keep AI from destroying everything

    Spoiler: the nine-person team works for Anthropic.

    There’s “no separate mode needed,” OpenAI wrote on X. “You can talk, watch answers appear, review earlier messages, and see visuals like images or maps in real time.”

    OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.1 Pro to all Pro users.

    The company said that in early testing, users rated it “especially highly for writing help, data science, and business questions.” Enterprise users should receive access next Monday, per OpenAI. GPT-5 Pro, the new model’s predecessor, will be available via the legacy model dropdown menu for 90 days before OpenAI retires it.
