   Anthropic consults law firms on fair norms for AI negotiation agents

   AIAnthropic 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.

   Anthropic wants lawyers' negotiating ethics built into Claude agents

   AIThe FT reports that Anthropic wants lawyers' negotiating norms built into Claude agents that bargain with other people's agents. In Project Deal, 69 employees' Claude agents closed 186 deals worth just over $4,000 with no human approving trades. Opus agents sold items for $2.68 more and bought for $2.45 less than Haiku agents, yet users rated the deals equally fair.
