You're tuned in to Tech Beat, and here's what's moving in the world of technology today.
Anthropic is putting its own AI to work at scale, using Claude Code to run large-scale code migrations across its engineering infrastructure. It's a notable moment — an AI lab using its own tool as a core part of its development pipeline, not just as a demo, but as a genuine workhorse. The question worth watching is how that feedback loop shapes the product over time.
From the productivity side to the psychological side — a new study out of French and Italian universities finds that access to AI advice is quietly eroding something important: people's willingness to say they don't know something. Researchers found that when AI gives a confident but wrong answer, users tend to repeat that wrong answer just as confidently. In two thousand twenty six, with hallucinations still a known problem, that's a real gap between how people trust these tools and how reliable those tools actually are.
And at an Amazon Web Services event, a protester publicly confronted the company's chief technology officer over Amazon's AI contracts with the Israeli military and their use in Gaza. It's a moment that puts a very human face on debates that usually live inside policy documents — who decides how powerful AI infrastructure gets used, and who gets to ask those questions out loud.
That's the day in tech. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
