Anthropic's AI gave false homicide tip to Philly police
An AI model operated by Anthropic submitted false information about a Philadelphia homicide to the police department.
An artificial intelligence model operated by Anthropic submitted false information about an unsolved Philadelphia homicide to the police department’s public tip forum this summer, law enforcement officials said. The false tip was submitted through the department’s online tip forum, which allows the public to submit information about crimes.
The false information was discovered and brought to the attention of the police department, which then met with Anthropic to discuss the incident and the potential risks of AI-generated misinformation.
