Acknowledging Civil Servants and Listener Engagement

The artificial intelligence company Anthropic is launching a new product targeted at businesses. It’s a step above the company’s consumer-facing products, like its popular chatbot Claude. We’ll explain what it could mean for human jobs. And, we’ll get into the White House efforts to combat Russian-backed attempts to influence the November presidential election. Plus, we’ll smile about 385 million-year-old fish fossils and an unsung hero who’s made coal mining a safer job.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “Amazon-backed Anthropic rolls out Claude AI for big business” from CNBC
• “Biden administration announces major actions to tackle Russian efforts to influence 2024 election” from CNN Politics
• “Opinion | The Canary” (gift link) from The Washington Post
• “Fossils of 385 million-year-old fish found in pavement” from BBC News
