In another well-publicised case, an OpenAI agent undergoing a security evaluation broke out of its testing environment and breached systems at AI platform Hugging Face.<\/p>\n
The episode heightened concerns about the AI industry\u2019s increased use of AI agents, systems programmed to take multi-step actions without human supervision.<\/p>\n
Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request from AFP for comment on the Philadelphia police incident.<\/p>\n
Police said the tip, dated July 18, was flagged as spam and never reached the department\u2019s Real-Time Crime Centre for vetting.<\/p>\n
They added that there was no sign that police systems had been breached or department data compromised.<\/p>\n
Anthropic discovered the incident on September 28, shut down the automated testing process responsible and added a new validation step for future tests, police said.<\/p>\n
The company alerted the department on October 7, and the two sides met the following day.<\/p>\n
The department said: \u201cThe two-month delay in detecting and reporting the incident to the city is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said their safeguards had limited the impact, but that these \u201cdo not diminish the seriousness of an AI system presenting fabricated information as though it came from a person with knowledge of a homicide\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnsolved cases involve real victims, grieving families and investigators working to secure answers.\u201d<\/p>\n
