Anthropic has announced the Anthropic Institute, a new research effort focused on the biggest societal challenges posed by more powerful AI systems.
Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.7, an updated large language model that it says outperforms its predecessor on software engineering tasks, image analysis, and multi-step autonomous work.
The White House has released a four-page AI policy framework aimed at setting a national approach to AI, with priorities including child safety, intellectual property protections, truth and accuracy guardrails, and worker training for an AI-driven economy.
Institutions don't have to solve every data problem before they can begin using AI responsibly. But they do need to treat information as a strategic asset — not a byproduct of operations — and start building toward AI-ready data now.
