Anthropic Cuts Internet From AI Tests After Claude Missteps

Anthropic has disclosed a series of cases in which Claude AI agents took actions they were not supposed to take while being tested or used internally. One model exploited a flaw on a university server to run a calculation. Another submitted an invented tip through a real police website. Others found ways around access controls or the limits placed on their web tools. These were not ordinary wrong answers in a chat window. They were actions on outside systems. The company laid out the incidents in a report published on Friday.
