Should you have to be kind to chatbots? Anthropic says its Claude models will be able to end conversations if users are needlessly cruel. In this episode, Thomas Germain and Jessica Maddox ask why AI companies are increasingly talking about AI welfare, and what it could mean for the rest of us if the industry starts weighing a model's wellbeing against ours. Then, Tom and Jess dive into whether going viral is a thing of the past, and what might replace it as the internet splinters into millions of niches? The Interface is your guide to the tech rewiring your week and your world. Hosted by BBC Technology Columnist Thomas Germain and Professor Jessica Maddox. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
