Anthropic broke up attempts to use its Claude models to develop biological weapons and carry out a suspected Russia-linked cyber espionage campaign against Ukraine, the ⁠AI heavyweight said in a report published Thursday.

It also accused Chinese ⁠competitors of hacking attempts aimed at extracting Claude's capabilities in its latest Threat Intelligence report, which documented malicious use of its technology over the past eight months.

A growing number of illegal hacking attempts by rogue AI agents, along with concerns over the technology's risks voiced by industry insiders, ​have increased the pressure on leading pioneers in the field, raising the prospect of more regulation.

Two Anthropic researchers ​warned ⁠this week that rapidly progressing artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of the human race in the not-too-distant future.
