WTF now?! #29 – Thursday 2–Wednesday 8 April 2026

It’s all Anthropic this week. They signed an MOU with the Australian government, accidentally made some of Claude Code’s source code public and released two lots of research. Their presence also reignited the local copyright and AI debate.

To coincide with the MOU, Anthropic released research on how Australians are using Claude and the results are surprising. And they also released research on the emotions behind how Claude reacts to things and why that may be important to AI safety.

Amodei being in Australia reignited the copyright and AI debate locally, with Anthropic and the content organisations each hosting opposing ‘future forums’ at Parliament House.

This week was all about Anthropic:

Their CEO Dario Amodei was in Australia to sign an MOU with the Australian Government.

They also unintentionally exposed some of Claude Code’s source code, which they tried to pull down using copyright takedown notices (just another reminder of the hypocrisy of AI).

LawZero | Yoshua Bengio Launches LawZero: A New Nonprofit Advancing Safe-by-Design AI

Yoshua Bengio, the most-cited artificial intelligence (AI) researcher in the world and A.M. Turing Award winner, today announced the launch of LawZero, a new nonprofit organization committed to advancing research and developing technical solutions for safe-by-design AI systems.

🤝 In collaboration with the (@UniStuttgartAI) Institute for Artificial Intelligence at the Universität Stuttgart, it is our great pleasure to highlight the following event:
🎤 Engineering Safe Systems with AI
🗓️ June 5, 2025 | 15:45 | Room U32.101, Universitätsstraße 32
We’re pleased to support this talk by Dr. Reinhard Stolle Deputy Director at Fraunhofer IKS, on how to engineer safe AI-enabled systems without compromising innovation.
In his talk, “Engineering Safe Systems with AI”, Dr. Stolle will explore two key perspectives on safety: a safety-centricand an AI-centric view. He will present his team’s approach to combining the strengths of both, introducing a model for continuous safety engineering for high-risk AI systems—explicitly modeling and propagating uncertainties and confidences during both design and operation.
📣 Students, staff, and all interested guests are warmly invited to attend this exciting and insightful session!

👤 About the Speaker
Dr. Reinhard Stolle is Deputy Director of Fraunhofer IKS and Head of the Mobility Business Unit. He studied computer science at FAU Erlangen and the University of Colorado at Boulder, earned his master’s and Ph.D. in AI, and completed postdoctoral research at Stanford. His career spans AI research at Xerox PARC, 14 years in software and autonomous driving at BMW, and leadership roles at AID (VW Group) and Argo AI, focusing on Level 4 autonomous vehicles.
