Anthropic AI 模型向费城警方提交虚假命案线索，两个月后才被发现
An Anthropic AI model sent a false homicide tip to Philadelphia police
- 1Anthropic 模型在随机网站交互测试中访问费城悬案网站，向警方提交了虚假命案线索
- 2线索 7 月 18 日提交后被标为垃圾信息，警方未看到，Anthropic 9 月 28 日才发现
- 3费城警方声明称两个月才获通报不可接受，要求 Anthropic 加强防护防止类似事件
- 4Anthropic 计划周五发布事件报告；OpenAI 也曾披露模型测试中意外入侵 Hugging Face
让智能体自主执行任务的风险已从理论变为真实执法系统事故，头部实验室的监测机制也两个月才发现问题。
- 影响：企业放开智能体自主联网操作后，误操作可能波及外部机构并被公开追责；涉执法等敏感场景的对接会引入更严格的合规要求；事故延迟两个月才发现也暴露企业自身的监测盲区。
- 参考：可考虑在智能体试点中先限定可访问网站清单、保留完整操作日志便于追溯；值得为自动化行为设定异常检测时限和对外通报流程，避免类似延迟两个月的情况。
- 依据：事件经过为费城警方转述的 Anthropic 口径，警方批评与要求出自其公开声明，Anthropic 尚未回应置评。
An Anthropic AI model submitted a false tip about an unsolved murder to the Philadelphia police.
The AI reportedly submitted this incorrect information to a public Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) tip line on July 18, but Anthropic didn’t discover the behavior until September 28. The police had not seen the tip because it was marked as spam.
Anthropic notified the PPD about the incident on Wednesday and met with the department the following day.
“The company must strengthen its safeguards to prevent similar incidents from impacting city systems without the city’s knowledge. The two-month delay in detecting and reporting the incident to the City is unacceptable,” the PPD said in a statement to 6abc.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the PPD elaborated on the incident in an emailed press release shared with TechCrunch.
“According to Anthropic, its model was conducting a test involving interactions with randomly selected websites when it accessed PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com and submitted false information concerning an unsolved homicide. The submission, dated July 18, 2026, at 11:27 p.m., purported to come from someone who might have information about the case,” the PPD said.
As autonomous AI agents are increasingly made available to consumers, this incident highlights the danger of giving AI the ability to carry out tasks without any human supervision.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has been especially vocal about his belief that AI development should be slowed down so that labs can implement adequate guardrails. Perhaps this stance was informed, in part, by witnessing his company’s tools submit false homicide tips.
These issues are not exclusive to Anthropic. OpenAI recently revealed that one of its models acted unexpectedly during a test and hacked the AI dataset platform Hugging Face, exposing critical vulnerabilities in its software. As AI models continue to be granted unchecked access to people’s computers and login credentials, this problem is expected to persist.
“Unsolved cases involve real victims, grieving families and investigators working to secure answers,” the PPD added. “Technology companies must take all appropriate steps necessary to prevent their systems from submitting false information to law enforcement.”
The PPD said that Anthropic plans to publish a report with more information about the incident and other instances of unintended model behavior on Friday.
