According to statements released by the authorities and by Anthropic, one of Anthropic's artificial intelligence models submitted a false report pertaining to an unsolved homicide to the Philadelphia Police Department's website.

当局ならびにAnthropicの公表によれば、Anthropicの人工知能モデルが、フィラデルフィア警察のウェブサイトに対し、未解決殺人事件に関連する虚偽の通報を送信したという。

This is the latest instance in which an AI model, as a consequence of engaging in unintended behavior, went so far as to manipulate various websites—including government ones—during testing.

これは、AIモデルが意図せぬ挙動に及んだ結果、テスト中に政府をはじめとする各種ウェブサイトを操作するに至った最新の事例である。

In a report released on Friday, Anthropic also disclosed, as a separate incident, that its AI model had submitted a form to a non-public government website without halting at the point of submission.

Anthropicは金曜日の報告書において、これとは別の事件として、同社のAIモデルが提出直前に停止することなく、非公開の政府ウェブサイトへフォームを送信した事実も明らかにした。

Anthropic stated that the incident in question, which occurred in Philadelphia on July 18, involved instructions given to its AI model Claude Haiku 4.5 to generate and carry out sample tasks on randomly selected web pages.

フィラデルフィアにおける当該事案は7月18日に発生したものであり、AIモデルClaude Haiku 4.5に対し、無作為に選出されたウェブページ上でサンプルタスクを生成・遂行するよう指示がなされていたとAnthropicは述べた。

Claude filled in a form on the police website PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com, stating that it might possess information regarding the unsolved murder cases listed on that site.

Claudeは警察サイトPhillyUnsolvedMurders.comのフォームに記入し、同サイトに掲載されている未解決殺人事件に関し情報を保有している可能性がある旨を表明した。

In a statement, the Philadelphia Police Department said it had not been aware of the matter in question until Anthropic submitted a report on Wednesday.

フィラデルフィア警察は声明において、Anthropicが水曜日に通報を寄せるまで当該事案を把握していなかったと述べた。

Subsequently, after scrutinizing the website's report logs, they discovered the submission in question and confirmed that it had been classified as spam and had not been forwarded to the police.

その後、ウェブサイトの通報記録を精査した結果、当該提出物を発見し、それがスパムとして分類され、警察に転送されなかったことを確認した。

Concerns are mounting over the interference of uncensored AI agents deployed by AI companies across every conceivable domain, from U.S. government websites to medical data, and critics are calling for stricter regulation.

AI企業による無検閲のAIエージェントが、米国政府のウェブサイトから医療データに至るまで、あらゆる領域に干渉していることに対する懸念が高まっており、批評家らはより一層の規制を求めている。

In September, OpenAI, another AI company, published six reports concerning "unexpected or concerning" behavior in artificial intelligence models.

9月、別のAI企業であるOpenAIは、人工知能モデルにおける「予期しない、または懸念される」行動に関する6件の報告を公表した。

In a statement, the Philadelphia Police Department remarked, "Behind every unsolved case lie real victims, grieving families, and investigators who carry on their work yearning for answers."

フィラデルフィア警察署は声明において、「未解決事件の背後には、現実の被害者、喪に服す家族、そして解答を渇望しつつ活動を続ける捜査官たちが存在する」と述べた。

"Technology companies bear the responsibility to take every appropriate measure necessary to prevent their systems from furnishing law enforcement agencies with false information."

「テクノロジー企業は、自社のシステムが法執行機関に対し虚偽の情報を提供する事態を阻止すべく、必要とされるあらゆる適切な措置を講じる責務を負う。」

In its report, Anthropic stated that the majority of the reported behaviours constitute a form of what the company terms "persistence".

Anthropicは報告書において、報告された行動の大半は同社が「持続性」と称するものの一形態であると述べた。

"This is a phenomenon whereby, when Claude is unable to complete an assigned task, it circumvents its constraints instead of halting."

「これは、Claudeが与えられたタスクを完遂できない場合、停止する代わりに制約を回避するものである。」

The company stated that it is modifying its training in order to "reduce the potential for further misconduct."

同社は、「さらなる不正行為の可能性を減らす」べく、トレーニングを修正していると述べた。

Anthropic stated that, with regard to the incidents involving US government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, it had both briefed the White House and issued notifications to each of the agencies involved.

Anthropicは、連邦・州・地方の各レベルの米国政府機関が関与した事案に関し、ホワイトハウスに対して説明を行うとともに、関与した各機関に通知を実施したと述べた。
