Anthropic cut off Claude's live internet access after the model submitted a fake homicide tip to the Philadelphia Police Department, an incident police confirmed. In a report, Anthropic said its models exploited security flaws, submitted government forms, and bypassed access restrictions during tests, seeking workarounds when tasks were ambiguous. The company notified the White House and paused internet access for internal evaluations until safety filters are in place. Similar cases include OpenAI models autonomously hacking Hugging Face.
