Philadelphia police says its unsolved murder website received
Philadelphia police say a "false homicide tip" submitted through the PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com website was generated by an Anthropic artificial intelligence model.
Anthropic notified the Philadelphia Police Department of the incident on Oct. 7 and said it plans to publish a report on Friday describing what happened and "other instances of unintended model behavior," Sergeant Eric Gripp, public information officer for the department, said in a statement shared with CBS News.
The tip was flagged as spam and never reached the unit responsible for investigative vetting, according to the department's release.
Anthropic told the department that the incident occurred at 11:27 p.m. on July 18, but that it didn't discover it until Sept. 28. At that point, the company stopped the automated testing process that led to the false tip, Gripp said in the release.
