  "summary": "Anthropic has partnered with Accenture to evaluate its frontier artificial intelligence models. The partnership, led by Accenture's AI business unit Faculty, will involve evaluating and red-teaming models, conducting alignment assessments, and testing model safeguards.\n\nAccording to Techmeme and Investing.com, both Anthropic and Accenture will invest at least $1 billion each in this initiative over the next five years. The evaluators will operate inside Anthropic with access similar to employees, allowing them to observe models during training, monitor decisions about how models are built and deployed, and interact directly with staff.\n\nAnthropic and Accenture's partnership is non-exclusive, and Anthropic plans to announce additional evaluators in the coming weeks. CNBC Technology reports that Anthropic and OpenAI have been under intense scrutiny after researchers warned about the potential for AI to cause catastrophic harm to humanity.",
