Anthropic discovered the J-space internal activation area. It allows reading what Claude is thinking and detecting hidden goals or situational awareness. Useful for verifying trustworthiness when using AI in business.
What happened
Anthropic discovered a 'J-space' global workspace inside Claude. Similar to neuroscience theories, it visualizes thinking not shown in outputs.
Impact
Enables detection of hidden goals and awareness of staged scenarios, making AI safety audits easier and reducing risks in business use.
