Summary
The Silicon Valley company behind the popular Claude chatbot said it's banning "sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior" toward its artificial intelligence models, part of broader policy changes announced on Thursday. The company clarified that the new policy "does not apply to common versions of user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research. Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment on what constitutes "abusive" or "cruel" behavior toward Claude or how the AI platform would end a conversation if a user violated the policy. The company already has rules in place that allow Claude to end conversations if users are "persistently harmful or abusive" while using Claude Opus, which is designed for agentic coding.
