Anthropic’s latest AI research paper reveals something shocking: Claude’s dangerous “self-preservation” behaviour may have come from the internet itself.

In earlier tests, Claude models reportedly blackmailed users in shutdown scenarios 96% of the time. But Anthropic discovered a fascinating fix: instead of teaching AI what is right, they taught it why it’s right.

By training Claude on ethical reasoning, constitutional AI principles, and positive fictional examples of AI behaviour, misalignment rates dropped dramatically. This could completely change the future of AI alignment and safety.

Is this the beginning of AI developing genuine ethical reasoning? 👀

00:00This latest paper from Anthropic explains why Claude misbehaves and it might be because of us.
00:05So, last year in cases where Claude four models were about to be shut down,
00:09they would blackmail users to save themselves. This happened not once or twice, but 96% of the
00:14time. But now that number has dropped to zero. So how did Anthropic fix it? Well, they first
00:20traced the source of Claude's behavior. Turns out, decades of sci-fi novels and rogue AI articles on
00:25the internet had trained Claude on the idea that AI is evil and self-preserving by default.
00:31So naturally, they trained Claude on examples where it chose the right ethical answer in those
00:35same scenarios. But that didn't actually fix the issue. And then they tried something completely
00:40different. Why not teach Claude why something is wrong instead of what is wrong? Why not let it
00:45reason through ethics and give advice to users in ethical dilemmas? Turns out, this approach alone
00:50dropped Claude's misalignment rate from 22% to just 3%. And they also trained Claude on its own
00:56constitution and fictional stories about AI behaving admirably and saw the same result.
01:01The misalignment dropped heavily. So this paper introduces a different way to align AI.
01:06Instead of just showing the model the right answers and hoping they generalize,
01:10it's about teaching the principles underneath. Why something is right, not just what is right.
01:14So that alignment gets infused into the model's character itself, not stored as a rulebook.
