AI firm Anthropic claims Chinese spies used its technology to automate cyber attacks. Hackers reportedly utilized Anthropic's AI chatbot, Claude, for automated tasks in a "highly sophisticated espionage campaign" targeting global organizations. The company alleges a Chinese state-sponsored group orchestrated the attacks, targeting tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturers, and government agencies. Anthropic says it has banned the hackers from using its chatbot and has notified affected parties and law enforcement.
