Anthropic Expands Claude With Computer Control To Automate Tasks

March 24, 2026

Revolutionizing AI-Driven Task Management

Anthropic has expanded the capabilities of its AI agent Claude by introducing deeper computer integration, allowing it to interact directly with a user’s device. The update enables Claude to open applications, navigate browsers and handle document-related tasks, extending its functionality beyond text-based assistance.

In practical use, this means users can assign multi-step tasks remotely. For example, a user could ask Claude from a mobile device to export a presentation as a PDF and attach it to a calendar invite, with the system completing each step automatically.

Driving Innovation In The AI Ecosystem

The release comes amid growing interest in autonomous AI agents that can execute tasks rather than only generate content. Companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic are активно developing tools in this space, while products like OpenClaw have shown how quickly such solutions can gain traction among users.

At the same time, Nvidia is also pushing into this segment. CEO Jensen Huang has described AI agents as a key next step for the industry, with the company introducing enterprise-focused solutions such as NemoClaw. This growing activity reflects a broader shift toward systems that can operate across applications and automate real workflows.

Enhancing Enterprise Productivity

Anthropic’s update reflects a broader move toward productivity-focused AI tools. By enabling task execution across devices, Claude is positioned as a system that can support day-to-day business operations, not just assist with information or communication. This includes managing documents, coordinating tasks and handling workflows that would otherwise require manual input across multiple tools.

Commitment To Robust Safeguards

At the same time, Anthropic acknowledges that the technology is still evolving. While Claude can perform more complex actions, the risk of errors remains, especially in multi-step processes. To address this, the company has built in safeguards. Claude is designed to request user permission before accessing new applications or performing sensitive actions, helping maintain control and reduce risk.

Looking Ahead

Anthropic is also developing features that support ongoing interaction with Claude across devices, allowing users to continue tasks over time rather than in a single session. As competition intensifies, further updates are expected, with a focus on improving accuracy and expanding the range of tasks AI agents can handle.

Meta’s $18 Billion Settlement Limits State Claims Over Children’s Data

August 28, 2026

Meta’s $18 billion settlement with attorneys general from 29 U.S. states includes a provision limiting future state claims over the company’s use of children’s data for age-assurance systems.

Under the agreement, Meta must develop, train and begin testing a system to identify users under 13 within a year of the settlement taking effect. The company already uses AI-based age-detection tools, although the agreement does not require the new system to use AI.

States Agree To Limits On Future Claims

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) generally restricts the collection and retention of personal data from children under 13. Under the settlement, the 29 state attorneys general agreed not to bring past, present or future claims under COPPA or similar state laws over the specified use of children’s data.

Meta will not be permitted to use information from users under 13 for advertising, marketing or algorithmic optimisation.

Federal Enforcement Remains Unclear

COPPA is primarily enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, which is not a party to the agreement. That leaves open the possibility of separate federal action over how Meta collects or uses children’s data.

Another issue is whether Meta can keep age-assurance data isolated from its other systems. An independent auditor will monitor compliance, but the settlement does not fully specify what data Meta can retain for training, how long it can be stored or whether derived insights can be used elsewhere.

Legal Risks Remain

Joshua Wurtzel, a partner at Schlam Stone & Dolan, said states could still pursue claims if Meta uses the data outside the settlement’s limits. Such cases could depend on how those limits are interpreted.

Peter Jackson, a data and intellectual property attorney at Greenberg Glusker, said the provision could “disincentivize future enforcement actions.”

The agreement gives Meta greater legal certainty around using children’s data for age assurance, but questions remain over federal enforcement, data retention and secondary use.
