I particularly want to call out that we're releasing the first empirical, large scale taxonomy of AI values, to encourage additional research into AI (and possibly also human) values, and the development of more grounded evals of models' values huggingface.co/datasets/Ant...

We developed one way to figure this out, finding thousands of values that Claude expresses in practice, from some very common values (like helpfulness!) to a long tail of highly context-dependent values that respond and engage with a diverse range of users.

Really proud and excited to release work on empirically measuring AI values “in the wild” — understanding, analyzing and taxonomizing what values guide model outputs in real interactions with real users.
