The world's biggest sovereign wealth fund is using Anthropic's Claude AI model to screen investments for ethical issues

Norway's $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund (Norges Bank Investment Management) is using Anthropic's Claude AI model, a large language model (an AI trained on vast text data to generate human-like responses), to screen investments for ethical and governance risks. The AI tool scans companies for potential issues like forced labor or corruption within 24 hours of investment, helping the fund identify and sell risky positions before broader market awareness, with particular value for researching smaller companies in emerging markets where local language news coverage is limited.
