Summary
Anthropic, a company working with advanced AI models, reports that its systems are beginning to show signs of introspection. This introspection refers to the models' ability to reason internally and recognize some of their own processes, though they are not becoming self-aware.

- Anthropists' researchers use the term "introspective awareness" instead of "self-awareness."
