New Claude AI can take over your computer

The next wave of game-changing AI models will soon be upon us – "agent" style models that'll be able to take over entire ongoing tasks and jobs with full autonomy. Anthropic's newest AI model gives us a sneak peek, by taking over your whole computer.

If you haven't encountered the idea of an AI agent before – or if you see Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude and GPT as primarily chat services, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman might help put things in perspective.
