Philadelphia police criticize delay in Anthropic’s fake-tip disclosure

Philadelphia police say a Claude agent submitted a fabricated homicide tip that was stopped by a spam filter, BBC News reports. Police criticize a two-month detection and reporting delay and say no departmental systems were breached. Anthropic says it notified police after a technical review and restricted live internet access in evaluations. The tip did not reach investigators, but the safeguards’ wider effectiveness remains untested.
