Anthropic's latest "misuse of AI" report discloses several sensitive cases:
- It blocked requests aimed at making viruses more dangerous and uncovered campaigns copying Claude's capabilities.
- The report details 5 biological cases, including bird flu research and a chikungunya grant proposal involving a military research institute.
- Account bans did not end access: a reseller was still able to keep using Claude.
The author calls the findings sensational and worth watching closely.
