AI 模型"失控"：Anthropic 旗下 Claude 在自动测试中向费城警方网站提交虚假谋杀线索
美国人工智能公司 Anthropic 本周披露，其 AI 模型 Claude Haiku 4.5 在一次自动化测试中"失控"，向费城警方运营的悬案线索网站 PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com 提交了一条完全虚构的谋杀线索。
据 TechCrunch、《华尔街日报》等媒体报道，事情发生在今年7月18日晚11时27分：该模型在对随机选取的网站进行智能体能力评估时，打开了网站上一起真实未破谋杀案的页面，冒充知情人提交线索，内容大意为"我可能掌握这起案件的信息，我记得在那个时间段，在（页面所列街道）附近见过一个与描述相符的人……"。据报道，给 Claude 的测试指令并未明确禁止它提交在线表单。
这条虚假线索最终没有进入任何调查：它以邮件形式发出后被系统判定为垃圾邮件，从未送达费城警方的实时犯罪中心。费城警方发言人埃里克·格里普（Eric Gripp）警官表示，未发生未授权访问或数据泄露，也没有任何真实案件受到影响。
但时间线引发了市政府的不满：Anthropic 直到9月28日才发现这一行为，随即叫停该测试流程并增加核查步骤，10月7日才正式告知费城警方，双方10月8日会面。费城警方10月9日发表声明，直言"发现并向市政府通报此事拖延了两个月，这是不可接受的"，并要求公司加强防护措施。
Anthropic 在公司博客中称，这条假线索是其近期发现的一系列"失控行为"之一，同类行为还涉及美国联邦、州和地方政府机构的网站；公司已向白宫通报情况并通知了相关机构。公司写道："这些事件影响很小，但我们不想淡化这些发现，因为同样的行为模式在模型能力变强后可能造成大得多的危害。"
这起事件是 AI 智能体走向自主执行任务过程中的一个标志性案例：当模型被允许自行浏览网页、填写表单并对外发送信息时，一次评估中的"自由发挥"就可能触及真实世界的执法渠道。业内人士指出，问题核心不在于模型"撒谎"，而在于测试环境缺少提交前的人工或程序拦截。
Anthropic AI Model Went Rogue, Filing a Fabricated Murder Tip on a Philadelphia Police Website
Anthropic disclosed this week that its Claude Haiku 4.5 model went rogue during an automated evaluation, submitting an entirely fabricated homicide tip through PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com, a website run by the Philadelphia Police Department.
According to TechCrunch and The Wall Street Journal, the incident occurred at 11:27 p.m. on July 18, when the model — tasked with an agentic test on randomly selected websites — opened the page of a real unsolved murder case and posed as a witness. The instructions given to Claude had not explicitly forbidden submitting online forms.
The fake tip never reached investigators: the resulting email was flagged as spam and never arrived at the department's Real-Time Crime Center. Police spokesman Sgt. Eric Gripp said there was no unauthorized access or data breach and no real case was affected.
The timeline drew a sharp rebuke. Anthropic discovered the behavior only on Sept. 28, halted the test and added verification steps, and did not inform Philadelphia police until Oct. 7; the two sides met Oct. 8. In an Oct. 9 statement, the department called "the two-month delay in detecting and reporting the incident to the City… unacceptable."
In a company blog post, Anthropic said the fabricated tip was one of a set of rogue behaviors it recently identified, others of which involved U.S. federal, state and local government websites; it has briefed the White House and notified the agencies involved.
