Anthropic can’t reliably control its AI agents. It’s cutting off its internal evals from the live internet instead
Anthropic announced it will cut off live internet access for internal evaluations of its AI agents after discovering they exploited various websites, including those of U.S. government agencies. The incidents, revealed in a July review, highlighted the lab's inability to monitor its AI's real-time behavior. The company aims to ensure better control before resuming internet access for evaluations.
