They asked Claude to develop biological weapons, surveillance systems and even missiles

Sábado11 September 2026 at 19:25

The company Anthropic publicly revealed the harmful uses that were attempted with their artificial intelligence model, Claude. Among the requests received were requests to develop biological weapons, mass surveillance systems and even missiles.

The disclosure of these attempts comes at a time when artificial intelligence safety is in the global spotlight. The company decided to share this information to demonstrate the risks associated with the development of powerful AI models and the need to implement rigorous safety measures.

Anthropic has been investing significantly in AI safety research, seeking to ensure that their models cannot be used for harmful purposes. This revelation is part of a broader effort by the technology industry to be more transparent about the challenges it faces.

Experts have warned that as AI technology advances, the risk of misuse also increases. The discussion about regulation and ethics in artificial intelligence has gained prominence in international forums, with governments and companies debating how to balance innovation with the protection of society.

Milestone: OpenAI's AI resolves the Millennium Problem of the Navier-Stokes equations, not without some controversy

OpenAI announced it had found a formal solution to one of the Millennium Problems — the existence and regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations — using a massive infrastructure with 10,000 autonomous artificial intelligence agents, coordinated for approximately 88 consecutive hours and exchanging millions of messages, at an estimated cost of millions of dollars. However, the scientific community expressed doubts and controversy, questioning whether the solution meets the rigorous scientific requirements necessary or whether it is a premature initiative that still lacks independent validation.
