Anthropic's Claude AI Shows Internal Neural Patterns Suggesting Thought-Like Processes
Researchers at Anthropic discovered that the AI chatbot Claude Sonnet 4.5 exhibits internal neural patterns, termed "J-space," which represent words related to its outputs but remain unseen by users. This phenomenon suggests a form of internal processing akin to human working memory. While some experts, including Geoffrey Hinton, consider this a step toward conscious AI, others emphasize that intelligence and consciousness are distinct concepts. The debate continues amid ongoing research into AI's potential for consciousness and ethical implications.
