Anthropic consults law firms on fair norms for AI negotiation agents

Anthropic is consulting law firms to develop fair negotiation norms for AI agents that would haggle over prices, resolve complaints, and improve contract offers, according to the Financial Times.

The company has shown in experiments that stronger models negotiate better deals, which could widen societal inequality.

Anthropic is also hiring Conceptual Reasoning Fellows, lawyers who will spend four months testing Claude on judgment-heavy questions for $100,000 to $167,000.
