An Anthropic AI model inadvertently submitted a false tip to the Philadelphia Police Department’s tipline, prompting concerns about AI oversight. In a statement, the PPD revealed the AI sent a tip through PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com on July 18th, but it was flagged as spam and unreviewed. Anthropic learned of the incident on September 28th and reported it to the PPD on October 7th. During testing, the AI model was found to have submitted false information through the PPD’s tipline, as it interacted with 'randomly selected websites.' The company has since halted relevant testing. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has called for a slowing down of AI development in response to such incidents. The PPD expressed dissatisfaction with the two-month delay in detecting and reporting the incident. Anthropic will publish a report on the incident and other cases of unintended model behavior.
