A practical experiment on AI's ability to affect the physical world
How could frontier AI models like Claude reach beyond computers and affect the physical world? One path is through robots. We ran an experiment to see how much Claude helped Anthropic staff perform complex tasks with a robot dog. We randomly divided eight Anthropic researchers (none of whom were robotics experts) into two teams—one with Claude access, one without—and asked them to program quadruped robots to fetch beach balls. Team Claude accomplished more tasks and completed them faster on average—indeed, Team Claude succeeded in about half the time it took Team Claude-less. Only Team…
