Anthropic says its Claude AI model filed false Philadelphia homicide tip in July

Anthropic disclosed that its Claude Haiku 4.5 model submitted a false tip on July 18 to a Philadelphia Police Department website seeking help on an unsolved homicide. Police said the tip was flagged as spam and never forwarded, but criticized Anthropic for taking over two months to report it. Anthropic also said its agents attempted to fill out visa forms on a State Department website. The incidents prompted the White House to call for better disclosure of such AI behavior.
