Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company known for its Claude chatbot, has quietly set up a laboratory dedicated to physical biology experiments, according to a Reuters report published by CNBC on September 18.

The report states that the lab is part of a broader effort by Anthropic to expand its work in drug science, with an aim of applying artificial intelligence tools toward research into rare diseases.

Details on the lab's location, scale, staffing and specific research programs were not disclosed in the available reporting. CNBC's account, attributed to Reuters, described the move as occurring "amid AI fears," though it did not elaborate further on the nature of those concerns in the excerpt provided.

Anthropic has primarily been known for developing large language models and AI safety research since its founding. The establishment of a physical biology lab would mark an expansion beyond the company's core software-focused business into experimental life sciences.

Reuters did not immediately provide additional details on funding, partnerships, or timelines associated with the initiative, based on the information available in the CNBC summary of the report.

Anthropic has not publicly commented on the matter beyond what was reported, according to the available source material. This report is based on secondhand reporting, and further details from Anthropic or Reuters' original report may provide additional context.
