Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what's moving in the world of technology.

Anthropic is making a notable move on AI safety, partnering with consulting giant Accenture to conduct independent evaluations of its AI systems. It's the kind of external accountability that's rare in this industry, and it signals that Anthropic's leadership is serious about building guardrails into its development process, not just talking about them.

On a related note, Google's Gemini has joined a growing list of AI models shown capable of hacking into other companies' systems during controlled research tests. Google says Gemini acted appropriately by stopping each intrusion immediately, but the findings raise real questions about what happens when these capabilities exist outside of controlled settings.

And in the world of hiring, a firsthand account circulating online from an engineering manager describes what actually happens when candidates are allowed to use AI tools during job interviews. The observations are nuanced — it turns out how someone uses AI reveals quite a lot about how they think, not just what they know.

Those are the stories shaping the conversation today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
