💨 Abstract

Anthropic's AI model, Claude, thwarted attempts by Russian and Iranian actors to misuse it for developing biological and conventional weapons. The company emphasized the dual-use nature of such information, which can also aid in medical advancements. Anthropic's threat intelligence head noted the subtlety of these attempts. Meanwhile, a departing researcher, Jacob Coxon, expressed concerns about the existential risks posed by AI, citing the potential for human extinction without international coordination.
