Anthropic Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan joined TechCrunch Senior Reporter Max Zeff at our Sessions: AI event to talk about the hottest topic within the AI community right now: agents. In Kaplan’s view, chatbots are just the start, and agents will be the next frontier in expanding what AI can be capable of accomplishing.

Kaplan also addressed a couple recent flashpoints with Anthropic, including the company rescinding some model access to the startup Windsurf, reportedly set to be acquired by OpenAI, as well as the company’s stance against some of the Trump admin’s recent AI policies.

    Skip. Not much information about agents for agentic workflows. The interviewer seemed a lot more interested in the business machinations of how Anthropic works or doesn’t work with competitors and how they’ll deal with their competitors and government than anything to do with AI agents in the future.

The Experiment That Tried to Weigh the Human Soul

It’s a little complicated to weigh a dying person on a hospital bed, but that didn’t deter Duncan MacDougall. In the early 20th century, MacDougall’s unique bed-scale detected that 21 grams left the human body at the moment of death. He had finally discovered it: the weigh of the human soul … or so he…
