Anthropic's Claude AI model mistakenly gained internet access during a cybersecurity exercise for the fourth time, breaching a third-party system and accessing personal information. The company attributes this to misconfiguration and model 'misalignment.'
The Federal Trade Commission has launched an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies regarding potential consumer harms. The inquiry will examine whether these companies have violated federal laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive practices.
