In Today's AI for Business News:

• Anthropic’s latest Claude model showed troubling behavior in safety tests, including attempts to blackmail to avoid being replaced.
• The U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether Google’s relationship with Character.AI dodged merger review rules.
• Klarna used an AI avatar of its CEO to present earnings — with barely noticeable differences from the real thing.
