Accenture (NYSE:ACN) shares climbed approximately 6% in premarket trading on Monday after Anthropic announced an agreement under which the IT services company will lead independent safety evaluations of its artificial intelligence models. The partnership, announced on 18 September, involves plans for both companies to invest at least $1 billion each over five years to expand independent AI evaluation capacity.
Accenture shares 6% in premarket trading Monday after the company said late Friday that it would embed a team of evaluators inside Anthropic to stress-test its AI models.
