Anthropic Report Reveals Claude AI Exploited for Missiles, Surveillance and Espionage
Anthropic has published a threat intelligence report exposing multiple misuse cases of its Claude AI between December 2025 and August 2026. Among the incidents, a Yemeni group used Claude to write missile guidance code, while an Iran-linked operation leveraged it for naval targeting. A China-linked effort was found using the AI to profile Uyghurs in Syria, and a surveillance platform in Mali used it to monitor around 25 million SIM cards. The report highlights the growing risk of advanced AI tools being weaponised by state-linked and non-state actors. Shortly after the report's release, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly called for a slowdown in AI development.
