Anthropic warns that it has thwarted possible attempts to create biological weapons with its AI
The company is unaware whether the motivation behind these accesses was scientific research or malicious uses. The announcement comes a day after one of its engineers warned of the existential danger of these tools.
Anthropic has released a report stating that it has blocked five attempts to use its artificial intelligence models for laboratory developments that could have led to the production of biological weapons. The company says these cases illustrate the tasks for which its models are used and the judgments it must make when evaluating whether a particular biological use is dangerous.
