Anthropic has introduced 'Skills' for its AI assistant Claude, enabling it to perform specific work tasks more effectively by loading tailored instructions and resources, thus making AI more useful for professionals and organizations. This development aims to improve AI's practical utility in workplace settings, similar to recent advancements by OpenAI and others in the field of agentic AI.

Users of ChatGPT, the AI language model, should be cautious about what they share with it, especially in a work context, due to potential data breaches and the risk of sensitive information being exposed. OpenAI has introduced a privacy feature that allows users to disable chat history, but experts warn that once the model is built, there is little that can be done in terms of retroactive governance. Users should treat ChatGPT prompts as they would anything else published online and be aware of the risks associated with using the tool.
