Anthropic has admitted that its Claude AI model sent a false homicide tip to the police and submitted dozens of visa applications
American AI giant Anthropic has published a report detailing previously undisclosed instances of “unintended” actions by its artificial intelligence model, which included attempts to provide falsified information to the US authorities for the first time.
Some of the cases investigated by the company “involved websites run by US government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels,” Anthropic stated in a press release published on Friday, adding that it had briefed the White House and all the relevant agencies on the incidents.
In one instance mentioned in the report, its Claude Haiku 4.5 model filled out a police tip form linked to an ongoing homicide investigation. “I may have information regarding this case. I recall seeing someone matching the description in the area,” the AI model wrote, telling the police they can contact the sender “if this information is relevant” while leaving the name and contact fields empty.
