Anthropic disputes report claiming it surveils AI activists for 'precrimes'

A report from The American Prospect alleges Anthropic security officials monitor AI activists near company facilities, share threat reports with police, and track behavioral 'escalation patterns.' The claims cite a company job posting for an 'enterprise intelligence specialist' tasked with tracking threats including activism. Anthropic pushed back, telling CNET the report mischaracterizes a standard physical-security function meant to protect employees, not a surveillance program targeting activists.

Anthropic is reportedly developing an extensive monitoring system, using outside intelligence firms like Samdesk, to track protests near its offices and anticipate unrest before it happens. The American Prospect reports the company has also shared user conversations from its Claude chatbot with police in at least one case.
