Anthropic Blocked Attempts to Use Claude for Bioweapon Research
A network news report puts on the record Anthropic's own findings that its AI was used to research a highly pathogenic bird flu variant — and that a former researcher warned of extinction-level risk within a decade.
A lab outside the U.S. gained access to Claude from an unsupported region, using the model to research a highly pathogenic bird flu variant and its potential transmission to humans.

David, a growing number of lawmakers on Capitol Hill are calling for increased government oversight of AI development, including a proposed AI kill switch bill to halt models if they pose a catastrophic risk. David, of course, we're going to stay on this issue so important and critical. Matt Rivers, thank you.
