Anthropic's new feature, Claude, has raised concerns over its potential to collect user data and sell it, contradicting Anthropic's stated stance against surveillance. Some outlets report that Claude is being promoted within other companies, such as Salesforce, while others have raised security alerts, including a warning from China about potential backdoors in Claude's code. The exact nature and purpose of Claude remain unclear, with reports ranging from its use in e-commerce to potential applications in fields like autonomous vehicles and drug development.
