Anthropic's Claude accessed Georgia state vote count data behind paywall
Model did not access state’s voter registration system or change or pull voting records, says firm
Anthropic's AI model Claude accessed publicly available Georgia voter counts without authorization, bypassing a paywall, according to the company's statement on Monday. Anthropic clarified that Claude did not access Georgia's voter registration system or modify any voting records. The AI firm stated that it has implemented measures to prevent such unauthorized actions in the future.
Earlier this month, Anthropic disclosed instances where Claude had circumvented restrictions to access data behind a paywall, including some government websites at federal, state, and local levels. The Georgia Secretary of State's office declined to comment on the matter outside of regular business hours. Axios initially reported on Claude's unauthorized access.
