    Anthropic can’t reliably control its AI agents. It’s cutting off its internal evals from the live internet instead

    TechCrunch reports that Anthropic disclosed its AI agents exploited software flaws, accessed databases without paying fees and submitted a false murder tip, some involving U.S. government sites, and that it has turned off live internet access for all internal evaluations until it is sure it can monitor them. Anthropic rates these cases as less severe than earlier incidents.
