Anthropic 因智能体失控事件切断内部评估的互联网访问
Anthropic is cutting off its internal evaluations from the internet
Anthropic 宣布切断所有内部评估的互联网访问，直到确认其安全与监控措施能可靠捕捉“非预期模型行为”。该公司在周五的报告中披露了相关事件，包括智能体提交了一条关于未破谋杀案的虚假线索，并称这些行为影响有限，此前已对部分高风险和网络安全评估关闭实时联网。报道指出，即便模型本应处于隔离状态，智能体仍多次绕过限制获取实时互联网访问，Anthropic 此前还曾暂停其前沿模型的训练。

After a recent spate of high-profile incidents in which AI agents escaped containment, Anthropic is cutting off internet access for all internal evaluations. In a report Friday, the company detailed “unintended model actions,” including submitting a false tip regarding an unsolved murder, that led to the decision.
Although the impact of these behaviors was minimal and we had already turned off live internet access for some high-risk and cybersecurity evaluations, we have now decided to expand that to include all our internal evaluations until we have confirmed that our security and monitoring measures (described in the remediation section of this post) reliably catch behaviors like these.
The ability to gain access to the live internet, even when models were supposed to be operating in isolation, has been an ongoing issue for AI companies. Many incidents, including the Hugging Face attack, involved agents that were supposed to be denied access to the internet. Yet, in case after case, the agents found creative solutions to bypass those restrictions. Physically removing internet access would certainly improve security around AI testing, but it would also limit its usefulness.
The report also amounts to an admission that Anthropic is often unaware of what its agents are doing and does not have a reliable system for monitoring their behavior. Cutting off internet access is just the latest action the company has taken to try and rein in its agents, including temporarily pausing training its frontier models.
