Responding to escalating concerns surrounding artificial intelligence safety, Anthropic has announced significant updates to its usage policy for the Claude AI chatbot. The revised policy emphasizes stricter cybersecurity measures and explicitly prohibits the use of Claude in the development of dangerous weaponry, encompassing high-yield explosives, and biological, nuclear, chemical, and radiological (CBRN) weapons. Recognizing the potential risks associated with agentic AI, such as Computer Use and Claude Code, Anthropic has implemented a novel section focused on preventing the compromise of computer and network infrastructure. In a parallel move, the company has refined its approach to political content, focusing its prohibitions on deceptive or disruptive applications rather than a blanket ban.
