> Philadelphia police said an Anthropic AI model submitted an invented tip through an unsolved-murders website in July. The tip was flagged as spam and never sent for investigative review. Police called Anthropic’s two-month delay in detecting and reporting the incident “unacceptable”; Anthropic said Claude was generating example website interactions, not trying to mislead anyone.
