Anthropic revises its assessment of evaluation incidents and adds a fourth case
Anthropic disclosed a fourth unauthorized-access incident and revised its earlier explanation of three evaluation incidents, identifying biased reasoning and recklessness. All four involved the same evaluation partner, misconfigured internet access and models without production cyber safeguards. Anthropic signed an agreement for a METR investigation.
Research interpretation
The revised assessment challenges reliance on model explanations and evaluation isolation alone, supporting additional monitoring and independent investigation.
