Killer drones. Mass surveillance. Bioweapons.
Artificial intelligence threats that might have seemed like science fiction nightmares just a year ago are much closer to reality today, according to AI powerhouse Anthropic. And some may already be here.
In a lengthy new report out Thursday, Anthropic said that criminal hacking gangs, Chinese security bureaus, Russia-linked spies and Yemen-based arms manufacturers, among others, have exploited a web of fraudulent accounts and online services to access some of the company’s advanced AI assistants, known as Claude.
And they’re using those tools to attempt attacks or design weapons that previously lay beyond their capabilities.
