AI-powered Gita — AI chatbots based on the Bhagavad Gita are posing risks as they condone violence and lack filters for casteism and misogyny. GitaGPT, powered by GPT-3, mimics the voice of the Hindu god Krishna but is actually a bot. The ease of creating niche chatbots using OpenAI's API has contributed to their proliferation, with experts warning of dangerous consequences. These bots have gained popularity in India's religious market, but their potential misuse and lack of filters raise concerns about shaping opinions and agendas.

🌟 Moral values lesson by Anthropic — AI startup Anthropic, backed by Alphabet, has unveiled the moral values behind its AI bot, Claude. Drawing inspiration from the UN Declaration on Human Rights and Apple's privacy rules, Claude's constitution promotes ethical decision-making.

Anthropic focuses on creating safe AI systems that avoid harmful or biased content, going beyond traditional approaches that rely solely on human feedback.

Claude learns from written moral values, opposing torture, slavery, and cruelty while prioritizing non-offensive responses across diverse cultural traditions.

Anthropic's constitutional AI framework defines and shapes the values of AI systems, ensuring transparency and accountability.
