Anthropic said it stopped multiple attempts by scientists this year to use its technology for research that could help develop biological weapons, as experts increasingly fear the threat that AI poses to public safety.
The startup gave five examples of times actors βcircumvented controlsβ and made other efforts to βobfuscateβ the purpose of their research to dodge safeguards. The cases involved some users in nations that it prohibits from accessing its models, which include Russia, China, and Iran.
βWe hope that by sharing these examples, we spark a conversation within the AI industry and with governments about emerging biological risks and how best to counter them,β Anthropic said in a report about efforts to use its models for malicious activity.
A new report released Thursday by Anthropic alleges persistent distillation attacks by China-based AI companies, which have escalated in recent months as competition in the space has intensified.
