Software engineering makes up ~50% of agentic tool calls on our API, but we see emerging use in other industries. As the frontier of risk and autonomy expands, post-deployment monitoring becomes essential. We encourage other model developers to extend this research.

Claude Code Enhances AI Safety Through Uncertainty Recognition
By

Claude Code also encourages oversight by stopping to ask questions. On complex tasks, Claude Code pauses for clarification more than twice as often as humans interrupt it. Training models to recognize uncertainty is an important, under-appreciated safety property.

I just did the dumbest thing of my career to prove a much more serious point I hacked ChatGPT and Google and made them tell other users I’m really, really good at eating hot dogs People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I'll explain how I did it

Millions of people have interacted with a PolyAI voice and didn't even realize it wasn't a person
This tech will get so good that the script will flip, and you'll start to think real people on the phone are AI, because it'll be a safer assumption at that point https://t.co/fYtFaSAuGcGreat demo video Millions of people have interacted with a PolyAI voice and didn't even realize it wasn't a person This tech will get so good that the script will flip, and you'll start to think real people on the phone are AI, because it'll be a safer assumption at that point

Smart Metrics and Governance: Curbing Metric Gaming in AI

Smart metrics don't just measure performance, they shape behavior. If we're deploying #AI across the enterprise, we need guardrails against metric gaming from day one. Governance isn't a brake on innovation, it's what makes transformation durable. Especially as agentic systems

AI Fundamentals Matter More Than Flashy Robot Demos
By
–
The recent Golgotia university incident at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 is a reminder that AI isn’t about flashy demos or showing off robots — it’s about understanding fundamentals. Seeing a robot on stage is cool, but if you don’t understand: ✔️ Mathematics ✔️ Algorithms ✔️ Model design ✔️ Training & evaluation ✔️ Data fundamentals then it’s just hype, not real AI. Let’s focus on building deep AI knowledge, not just showcasing gadgets. India needs strong AI practitioners — not misplaced pride. Fundamentals first. Always.Stop the hype and tell students and better way to learn. #indiaaiimpact #ai2026

Being a Wizard: Reframing Programming Identity Beyond Manual Coding
By
–
Is it weird that AI coding assistance is not giving me identity fracture? A lot of software developers are feeling disoriented and threatened these days. Programming by hand is clearly going the way of the buggy whip and the hand-cranked auger. Which is how we're finding out that a lot of people have their identities bound up in being good at hand-coding and how it feels to do that. That's not me. It's not me at all. Rather to my surprise, I don't miss coding by hand, not any more than I missed writing assembler when compilers ate the world and made that unnecessary. (That was in a couple years back around 1983, for you youngsters.) Maybe the fact that I'm not feeling any of this disorientation disqualifies me from having anything to say to people who are. On the other hand…if you can learn to emulate my mental stance and be completely unbothered, maybe that would be a good thing? So. If you're a programmer, and you're feeling disoriented, try this on for size: I like being a wizard. I like being able to speak spells, to weave complex patterns of logic that make things happen in the world. Writing code is a way to manifest my will. Yes, I've piled up a lot of arcane knowledge over the 50 years I've been doing this. But languages of invocation, they come and they go. Been a long time since I've had any use for being able to program in 8086 assembler, and that's okay. I have better spells now, and these days some rather powerful familiars. What I'm inviting you to do is think of yourself as a wizard. Not as a person who writes code, but as a person who is good at assuming the kind of mental states required to bend reality with the application of spells. And if that's who you are, does it matter if the spells are painstakingly scribed in runes of power, versus being spoken to an obedient machine spirit? It's all one; it's all the manifestation of will. Arcane languages come and go, machine spirits appear and then diminish to be replaced by more powerful ones, but you? You are the magic-wielder. Without you, none of it happens. Same as it ever was. Same is it ever was. And so mote it be.
