Anthropic's new "J-lens" reveals a silent workspace inside Claude that mirrors a leading theory of consciousness

The finding, which the company says has already begun reshaping how it monitors its AI systems for safety risks, lands amid an intensifying scientific debate over whether machines can possess anything resembling a mind.
