New research from Anthropic suggests that Claude’s values vary by language, with the popular AI chatbot found to express greater warmth in Hindi and Arabic responses compared to outputs in English and Russian, which tend to be more rigorous and analytical.
When Claude generates responses in English, it emphasises different values than when it responds in Portuguese, Indonesian, or Chinese, Anthropic said in a new study published on Monday, July 13. As part of the study, Anthropic researchers set out to measure how the values Claude expresses vary across two factors: models and languages.
It adopted a value axis approach where researchers first identified more than 3,000 values expressed by Claude and compressed them into a small number of axes, with each axis in the form of a number line between two groups of values such as those relating to emotional warmth on one end and those relating to rigour on the other end.
Analysing Claude’s responses in various languages, Anthropic said that the largest difference was observed in the Warmth vs Rigour axis followed by the Candour vs Execution axis. The variations stayed mostly stable on the Deference vs Caution and Depth vs Brevity axes, as per the company.
