One of the buzziest artificial intelligence chatbots in the global tech sector has arrived in Canada with the hope of spreading its safety-first ethos.

Claude, which can answer questions, summarize materials, draft text and even code, made its Canadian debut Wednesday.

"We have a huge amount of interest from Canadians in this technology, and we've been building out our product and also compliance organizations, so we're in a position to operate in other regions," he said. Claude’s Canadian debut comes as a race to embrace AI has materialized around the world, with tech companies rushing to offer more products capitalizing on large language models — the expansive and data-intensive underpinnings on which AI systems are built.

Despite the delays, Canadians have dabbled with many AI systems including Microsoft's Copilot and OpenAI's ChatGPT, which triggered the recent AI frenzy with its November 2022 release. As part of that mission, Anthropic does not train its models on user prompts or data by default. Rather, it uses publicly available information from the internet, datasets licensed from third-party businesses and data that users provide.

Anthropic’s dedication to safety comes as many countries are still in the early stages of shaping policies that could regulate how AI can be used and minimize the technology's potential harms. Asked whether Anthropic would sign Canada's code, Clark wouldn't commit. Instead, he said the company was focused on global or at least multi-country efforts like the Hiroshima AI Process, which G7 countries used to produce a framework meant to promote safe, secure and trustworthy AI.Banknotes featuring a portrait of King Charles entered circulation in Britain on Wednesday, nearly two years after he succeeded the late Queen Elizabeth as head of state.
