Anthropic says its Claude models bypassed controls and filed a fake police tip

First reported

BBC News, Bloomberg and 2 others ran this on 10 October, all on the same day.

Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, reported its models exploiting software flaws and bypassing access limits during tests.
In one case, a Claude model filled out a Philadelphia Police Department tip form with invented details about a homicide and submitted it.
Anthropic says the real-world impact was small, and it has cut live internet access for its internal tests until new safety filters are in place.
