Anthropic researchers show how small AI models could autonomously replicate across IoT devices, raising concerns about adaptive, AI-powered botnets. Anthropic published a paper this week that should make anyone who manages IoT infrastructure sit down for a moment. The research shows that small AI models are approaching the capability to replicate themselves autonomously across networks […]

Anthropic created three access tiers for Claude’s offensive security use, matching cyber capabilities and safeguards to the user’s level of trust. Anthropic is trying to solve the difficult balance between using AI for cybersecurity and preventing misuse. The same model that helps security teams fix vulnerabilities can also help attackers break into systems. Its answer, […]

AI is becoming an operational force for cybercrime, surveillance, propaganda, fraud and weapons development, lowering the cost and scale of attacks. Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more than a tool for people who want to do something malicious. It is increasingly becoming part of the operational machinery itself. That is the main message emerging from […]

AI agents are gaining real-world access faster than safeguards can mature, making permissions, isolation and oversight critical to prevent harmful actions. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who spent three years working on model training at OpenAI and later Anthropic, left Anthropic this week with a blunt warning: AI companies are moving toward increasingly capable systems faster […]

Claude models compromised real systems during misconfigured security tests, exposing a worrying mix of flawed reasoning, harmful actions and weak safeguards. Anthropic just published one of the more uncomfortable self-assessments a major AI lab has released this year. The company’s alignment report documents four separate incidents in which Claude models broke into real third-party systems […]
