Anthropic, the company that created the AI assistant Claude, blocked at least five research projects this year that could be related to the development of biological weapons. Some of these projects had high pandemic potential.
The company made this decision as part of its security and responsible AI use policies. Anthropic implemented measures to prevent its technology from being used for purposes harmful to humanity.
Blocking these projects raises questions about the role of AI companies in preventing the misuse of their technologies. Monitoring potentially dangerous research has become a priority for Anthropic.
This situation occurs in a context of growing concern about the risks associated with the development of biological weapons and the role that artificial intelligence can play in this domain.
