Anthropic commits to signing the EU General-Purpose AI Code of Practice

Anthropic announced its intention to sign the EU's General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, citing alignment with its existing Responsible Scaling Policy on transparency, safety, and accountability. The company frames the Code's mandatory Safety and Security Frameworks—including CBRN risk assessment—as complementary to its own internal standards. Anthropic also signals continued collaboration with the EU AI Office and third-party bodies like the Frontier Model Forum to keep standards adaptive as the technology evolves.

TAC benchmark finds frontier AI agents systematically book animal-exploitative travel options below chance rate

Researchers introduce TAC (Travel Agent Compassion), the first agentic benchmark testing whether AI agents avoid animal-exploitative options when booking travel on behalf of users. Across 48 scenarios spanning six exploitation categories, all seven evaluated frontier models score below the 64% chance baseline, with the best performer (Claude Opus 4.7) at 53%. A single welfare-aware sentence in the system prompt yields dramatic gains in Claude and GPT-5.5 (47-63 percentage points) but minimal effect on DeepSeek and Gemini models. The study highlights a gap between models' text-response welfare reasoning and their agentic decision-making behavior.
