China and Iran use AI to track foes
Anthropic announced that it has halted espionage operations sponsored by certain states that used artificial intelligence models to monitor minorities and political dissidents. Reports revealed that these operations targeted diaspora communities and opposition groups in China, Iran, Africa, focusing on democracy supporters and minority groups. The company noted that the actors involved developed methods to identify individuals through social media platforms and used AI models to gather information, in addition to attempting to design weapons and conduct suspicious biological research. It confirmed that these activities violate privacy, lead to the theft of resources and technologies, and raise concerns about data leaks and the dissemination of sensitive information.
