Anthropic says it has blocked efforts by bad actors to use its artificial intelligence models for malicious activity such as cyberattacks, surveillance and research that could have led to biological weapons. As AI models grow more powerful, elaborate cyberattacks no longer require sophisticated skills and even lone individuals can create attacks that would not have been possible even a year ago. Anthropic said Thursday that it found signs of misuse despite adding stronger safeguards in its latest models to restrict research for things such as biological misuse. The company says its researchers blocked threatening actors from spyware vendors to state-sponsored spreaders of propaganda.

Opening statements in the Facebook trial over privacy concerns linked to the 2016 election began in New Mexico on Wednesday. The political consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica, bought user data harvested from millions of Facebook profiles to generate targeted ads during the 2016 election. Attorneys for the state of New Mexico accused the social media platform of failing to protect users after the data helped generate targeted political ads, encouraging Democratic voters to stay home. Facebook’s attorney said the social media company investigated suspicious third-party apps following the breach and told jurors the state’s evidence is outdated because platform safeguards have improved. The trial is expected to last four weeks.
