PhiladelphiaAnthropic’s AI invented a tip on an unsolved killing.
Police flagged it as spam but called the company’s two-month delay in reporting it unacceptable.
The model was running a test on randomly selected websites, and filling forms was not among its prohibited actions.
Anthropic said the transcript suggests the model was producing example content, not trying to mislead anyone.
Anthropic has cut internet access for Claude in internal testing until its monitoring reliably catches such behaviour.
