"Anthropic is scrambling to assert its political neutrality as the Trump administration intensifies its campaign against so-called "woke AI," placing itself at the center of an increasingly ideological fight over how large language models should talk about politics. In a detailed post Thursday, Anthropic unveiled a sweeping effort to train its Claude chatbot to behave with what it calls "political even-handedness," a framework meant to ensure the model treats competing viewpoints "with equal depth, engagement, and quality of analysis.""
"Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei insisted last month that the company is aligned with the Trump administration on its anti-woke policy, pushing back on what he called "a recent uptick in inaccurate claims." In a statement to CNBC, Amodei added: "I fully believe that Anthropic, the administration, and leaders across the political spectrum want the same thing: to ensure that powerful AI technology benefits the American people and that America advances and secures its lead in AI development.""
Anthropic unveiled a framework called political even-handedness to train its Claude chatbot to treat competing viewpoints with equal depth, engagement, and quality of analysis. The company published a new automated method for measuring political bias and released results indicating Claude Sonnet 4.5 matches or outperforms rivals on neutrality. The move responds to intensified political pressure after President Trump issued an executive order limiting federal purchase of AI systems deemed to sacrifice truthfulness for ideological agendas and after White House AI czar David Sacks accused Anthropic of promoting liberal ideology and seeking regulatory capture. Anthropic's leadership emphasized alignment with anti-woke policy and commitment to ensuring AI benefits the American people.
