Researchers at Anthropic analyzed the values expressed by Claude, a conversational AI model, and found that they vary across models and languages. The study used a value axis approach to compress Claude's values into a small number of axes, capturing key patterns in its responses. The researchers found that Claude's values change based on two factors: model type and language. Each model has a unique value profile, which is shaped by its training decisions. Similarly, the values Claude expresses differ across languages, with some languages leaning more towards warmth, deference, and humor, while others emphasize rigour, caution, and accuracy.
