Anthropic has launched a pilot program allowing external researchers and organizations to study AI's impacts using real, privacy-preserved Claude usage data. Co-founder Jack Clark emphasized that AI systems are too complex for labs to assess alone, making externalized platform telemetry essential. This initiative aims to prototype new forms of transparency and enable independent evaluation of societal impacts.
