EXCERPT:
Anthropic unveiled its latest report detailing how it stopped bad actors from using its Claude artificial intelligence (AI) models for malicious activity.
Cases ranged from fake dating apps designed for fraud to surveillance systems meant to track dissidents, according to Anthropic’s Threat Intelligence Report. The report states that bad actors include “suspected state-sponsored groups, financially motivated criminals, commercial spyware vendors, state propaganda institutions, and politically motivated individuals.”
Anthropic emphasized that bad actors used Claude Haiku, Sonnet and Opus for malicious purposes and that its frontier models, Fable and Mythos, were not involved, save for one instance of trying to steal AI model data through a process known as “distillation.” (RELATED: China’s Hottest AI Company Accused Of Stealing Anthropic Data In ‘Covert’ Plot)
