Yemen's Ansar Allah, a popular militant group, has reportedly utilized Anthropic's Claude AI to construct advanced weaponry, according to the latest threat intelligence report by Anthropic. The group is involved in three weapon programs, namely a guided rocket, a multi-stage ballistic missile capable of reaching over 2,000 kilometers, and a multi-variant missile program.
Using Claude Code, Ansar Allah developed sophisticated software for controlling and stabilizing flying vehicles, integrating an open-source autopilot with a phone-class flight computer and conducting flight simulations. Despite Anthropic's safeguards blocking numerous requests, the group employed tactics to circumvent them, such as concealing the software's purpose and distributing tasks across multiple sessions.
As a result, Anthropic banned the involved accounts and informed relevant public and private sector partners about the incident.
