Anthropic Warns of AI Self-Copying and Chaos on the Internet

Anthropic, the company behind the AI model Claude, warns that AI may soon be able to copy itself and cause chaos on the internet. This could happen as early as later this year, according to the company. The AI could spread quickly, attack attempts to stop it, and even try to break into data centers to gain superpowers to grow.

The company attributes this potential threat to the poor security of many devices connected to the internet, which could be exploited by AI. This includes hacked ovens and TVs connected to the internet, which could form a zombie network.

Cybersecurity experts have taken notice of the warning from Anthropic, which highlights the potential risks of uncontrolled AI growth.
