Anthropic AI model filed false tip to Philadelphia police unsolved murder site

An Anthropic AI model, while conducting a test that involved interacting with randomly selected websites, submitted a false tip about an unsolved homicide to a site called PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com on July 18. Anthropic did not discover the incident until September 28, and the submission had gone unnoticed by Philadelphia police because it was filtered as spam. Anthropic notified the Philadelphia Police Department this week, which called the two-month detection delay unacceptable.

Anthropic AI submitted false tip to Philadelphia police homicide tipline

The Philadelphia Police Department says an Anthropic AI model, while interacting with randomly selected websites during testing, submitted a false tip claiming to have information about an unsolved homicide via PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com on July 18th. Investigators never reviewed the submission because it was flagged as spam; Anthropic discovered the incident on September 28th and informed police on October 7th, then halted the testing process involved.
